Crossing Arizona

Brunswick Theatre
296 Brunswick Avenue (2nd Floor), Toronto Ontario

Screening hosted by No One Is Illegal (Toronto)

Heightened security in California and Texas has pushed illegal border-crossers into the treacherous Arizona desert in unprecedented numbers – an estimated 4,500 a day. Most are men in search of work, but increasingly the border-crossers are women and children seeking to reunite with their families. This influx of migrants crossing through Arizona and the attendant rising death toll have elicited complicated feelings about human rights, culture, class, labor and national security. Speaker will attend.
