Plot Summary:Out in desert-like nature, living in the shadows of the immense fence that is erected to control Mexican immigration, seven Americans tell how the border transforms their lives. They observe the haunting traces left by the crossing migrants, people they never come face to face with, as they confide their fear, defiance and at times even compassion.
Casting a fresh eye on a heavily debated topic, Stephanie Barbey and Luc Peter’s ‘Broken Land’ tells the stories of seven American citizens living in the ‘militarized zone’ on the US side of the fence.
