Sin Fronteras Watch & Act Cinema,

a project of CASA (Coalition of Amigos in Solidarity and Action),

Presents:

The Border Wall

Genre: Documentary, Social Issues
75 min. Running Time

Director/Producer: Wayne Ewing

The Border Wall is an uncompromising investigation into the potential repercussions of the proposal to erect a 670-mile-long fence that would weave its way along the Rio Grande, through the hearts of towns, and across private property and wildlife sanctuaries. While Homeland Security officials attempt to establish legal precedents against the protestations of their opponents, Ewing raises larger questions regarding more effective ways to deal with U.S.-Mexico immigration policy.

“Sin Fronteras Watch & Act" Cinema a unique and innovative program that will enlighten, and engage community members in to faith in action groups.

The project needs a lot of your support, in spreading the word about this enterprise, in providing volunteer time to promote the project, and be part of this exciting venture!

The Objective: To provide a creative way to educate, raise awareness, motivate, and promote involvement of citizens in social change . "Sin Fronteras Watch & Act" Cinema wants to create a forum for the community to learn and talk about issues that affect our society, issues such as Immigration, globalization, health care, water contamination, etc.

The project will be for both sides of the border Brownsville and Matamoros (and other cities along the border). With this project, educational films and documentaries related to border, social justice and peace issues will be shown to the community and attendees will be invited to discuss about the film and then create some action that will enhance community living.

When possible, there will be Discussion Panels attending and leading the event. Eventually, this participation and involvement will lead to the creation of support and faith in action groups where participants will become advocates for social justice and peace issues.
