Items related to Border Film Project: Photos by Migrants & Minutemen...
Every year, thousands of undocumented migrants attempt to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, and every year, the Minutemen, a volunteer group of citizens who patrol the border, try to stop them. As the debate over immigration became increasingly fierce and polarized, three friends came up with an ingenious idea to both clarify and humanize the complexities of the issue.
For three months, Rudy Adler, Victoria Criado, and Brett Huneycutt distributed hundreds of disposable cameras, along with the means of returning them, to migrants and Minutemen so they could document their own journeys. The friends received over two thousand photographs that present both sides of the issue—and reveal the harsh realities on the ground. Capturing images from both sides of the border, Border Film Project tells the stories that no news piece, policy debate, or academic study could possibly convey.

Review:
" A portrait of the border like no other." -- GOOD Magazine
"...a remarkably creative effort to document life along the U.S. border from two opposing points of view." -- Wall Street Journal
"At a time when the significance of being born to the north or south of an invisible line is becoming more discernible, these pictures capture something that the news reports cannot - a story that is human, cordial, and all the more forceful for being slightly out of focus." -- Dazed and Confused, UK
"If a picture is worth a thousand words, it would take a lot of them to match the rhetoric sparked by the immigration debate. And that's just what the Border Film Project is trying to do with images taken on the front line of the border battle." -- Katie Couric, CBS Evening News
"The project aims to put a face on the tangled politics of the border. It succeeds." -- Yahoo
