Crossing Borders

Winner: Young Cuts International Film Festival

In the spring of 2008, a team of Canadian students travelled to the border cities of Douglas, Arizona in the United States and Agua Prieta, Sonora in Mexico. The students explored a variety of issues and documented personal stories of youth living along the border. They produced this film over two weeks with the support of local Mexican youth filmmakers.
