"The 800 Mile Wall" (89 minutes)
The 800 Mile Wall highlights the construction of the new border walls along
the U.S.-Mexico border as well as the effect on migrants trying to cross
into the U.S. This powerful 90-minute film is an unflinching look at the
failed U.S. border strategy that many believe has caused the death of
thousands of migrants and violates fundamental human rights. Since border
walls have been built, well over 5,000 migrant bodies have been recovered in
U.S. deserts, mountains and canals. Some unofficial reports put the death
toll as high as 10,000 men, women and children. As a direct result of U.S.
border policy, migrants are forced to cross treacherous deserts and
mountains in search of low skill and low paying jobs in the United States.
