THE BOARDER WALL; A SPANGLISH STORY
Producer Emily Packer will be with us for the NYC premiere of her film and will host a Q+A
after the screening. A poetic non-fiction film about motherhood on the US-Mexico border.
These figures (mythic and otherwise) manifest themselves at Friendship Park–a space
where families on either side of la frontera can come together, but under extreme conditions of surveillance.
