ShangLuda Admirable film.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
donajhi If you don't live here and see it or not walk the border you have no right for your voice to be heard. You keep hiding your head in the sand but don't look for any of us to save you. See, we don't have the time. We are all skilled in fighting and have to leave our houses armed every day. They have picked Arizona clean and now they come for you and your families. Good luck, you'll need it. If you would like to walk the border please, don't go alone. Call the Wolftrackers or one of the Border Services to take you. Remember they carry weapons that can shoot for a mile, they are mounted on cars and trucks and can run you down with ease. Learn a few basic words, it could save your life.
danny-boy-112-369951 Full of factual inaccuracies, non sequiturs, conservative buzzwords, and scare-mongering, this so-called "documentary" film is nothing more than the parroting of tired right-wing bigotry masquerading as "fair and balanced" (and no more convincingly than Fox News manages to pull off "fair and balanced"). The filmmaker, Dennis M. Lynch, makes much of his attempts to appear to be giving equal time to "both sides"; however, the sides are completely misrepresented in the first place. Am I being fair and balanced by giving equal time to "yes" and equal time to "no" in my film in which I ask my neighbor the yes/no question, "Have you stopped beating your dog yet?"? In reality, my neighbor has never beaten his dog, but then that wasn't one of the sides I portrayed in my film, is it? Lynch similarly frames the issue of immigration in a false dichotomy and then proceeds to carefully cultivate the appearance of fairness and balance for those uninformed, trusting, or simple enough to be fooled by it. As such, his credibility as an objective documentarian goes right out the window.The actual pro-immigration stance is woefully absent in Lynch's film, no doubt because accurately representing it would sound the death knell for his carefully crafted narrative. Lynch works hard to cast himself as a victim in the film, as a lone seeker of truth being abused by some of those he interviews, being kicked out of political rallies, and knocking on the massive closed doors of a conspiracy hellbent on keeping a terrible secret. In reality, however, he aggressively asks leading questions and is wantonly disruptive of those not likely to agree with him. It is not that those who support immigration refused to be represented in his film, but that they were not willing to be a part of an obvious attempt to misrepresent them.In lieu of an expansive soundtrack, Lynch opts instead to underscore his film with the constant drumbeat of an endless string of white people all too eager to scapegoat immigrants for everything wrong in their own lives. An overt, over-the-top racist predictably appears at opportune moments in the narrative to act as apologetic counterpoint in order to lend the appearance of legitimacy to the undercurrent of "softer" bigoted attitudes given voice throughout the film. Lynch casts himself as a softy that feels for the undocumented immigrants, and suggests at one point that perhaps America is not the best place for immigrants because it would be a shame for them to become the victims of rising racial tensions. There's nothing revelatory here, just an incendiary laundry list of long ago refuted straw-man arguments dramatically staged to look as if they are alive and well and candidly documented on the gritty front lines of public opinion.What does it say about the strength of the anti-immigration political position when it must be bolstered by such underhanded tactics?---that proponents of this position are on shaky ground. What does it say about these proponents that these tactics are so transparent and unconvincing?---that they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. The debate is over, they have lost, and the only alternative to having the integrity to concede the point is to attempt revision of the debate itself and its historical timeline. Still, they refuse to read the writing on the wall and accept that they could ever have possibly been wrong. In this reviewer's opinion, all of the ills Lynch outlines in the film can be cured when conservatives cease running interference that prevents immigration law reform from ever coming about.It is an insult to the venerable art of documentary filmmaking to call this piece of propagandistic political puff a serious addition to the genre. Whatever your views on immigration, this film can safely be ignored as it seeks only to muddy the waters.
Johnathan Campbell The sad truth is once again uncovered and compiled into a media presentation for the masses. This documentary shows the great deal of conflict and damage that is being caused by illegal immigration with no spin. So many people seem to not understand the basic principle of this issue, IT NEEDS NO SPIN! The TRUTH should scare you far more than the spin. This film/documentary portrays the truth for all to see. America is getting crushed by illegal immigration, this will show you the down and dirty of it. America is getting crushed by the crime and violence illegal immigration is bringing into the country. This documentary will show you an up close and personal view of how American CITIZENS are being forced by the government to live like this.
lgillum The tyranny of opinion. In the course of human events history repeats itself getting uglier and uglier, over and over, when its political. Why can't we respect the opinion of another? Disagree agreeably. So it is self evident some, no many believe we are not created equal and those to whom that are not, by gosh are considered evil. Pfttt. Why would ownership of TV stations, others that buy or help independent filmmakers get the show heard and seen stifle it?(literally 8 ball it) I understand 98% of filmmakers or those willing to help get the show into theaters are liberal but whatever happened to we are all created equal? I just saw the trailer and I believe when people close there eyes to truth its because its not theirs. When they listen and reject it, thats because they didn't hear it. Opinion matters and if everybody that controls the movie and music industry allow only documentaries they believe in, then the truth is self evident.
