Border Film Project

Border Film Project

The Border Film Project ( _es. Proyecto fotográfico de frontera) is an art project examining United States–Mexico border immigration from two perspectives. The project gave disposable cameras to two groups on different sides of the United States–Mexico border: undocumented migrants crossing the desert and the Minutemen volunteers trying to stop them.
