Description
Acclaimed director Chantal Akerman takes on the hot-button issue of illegal immigration with striking patience and lucidity. Turning her camera on U.S.- Mexican border towns, Akerman elicits testimonials from both border jumpers and local sheriffs. “Stunning! As human testimony it’s unforgettably forceful” (Stuart Klawans, The Nation). Chantal Akerman, France, 2002, Beta SP, color, 99 min., subtitled.
