Hey, How many empty seats were there be for the showing of this taboo topic... Sensational New Film 'Border' to Screen at Newport Beach Film Festival Fresh from a triumphant, invitation only screening for Congress in Washington, D.C., Chris Burgard's sensational new film BORDER now comes to the Newport Beach Film Festival. BORDER will screen on Friday, April 20th - 5:30pm at Edwards Island Cinema. For tickets to the screening, go to: newportbeachfilmfest.com. Trailers Now Available For Viewing On www.BorderMovie.com Directed by California filmmaker Chris Burgard, BORDER unleashes a haunting, inside look at the war zone that has become our southern border. BORDER covers the many points of view of the contentious issue at our southern border with Mexico. In footage of illegal border crossings and captures by the Border Patrol, along with interviews of illegal aliens, BORDER focuses on the staggering number of people brutally victimized by their human smugglers while illegally crossing from Mexico into the United States. The film includes startling covert thermal imaging footage of drug smugglers coming across the border where U.S. National Guard troops were forced to retreat on January 3rd of this year. We explore the profound impact on U.S. healthcare and educational systems and gang-related crime besieging communities across the country. Throughout the border journey in his affectionately named motor home, The Big Blue Bus, and shadowed by his dog, Scout, Burgard and two film crews tirelessly pursue both sides of the issue including interviews with members of the ACLU, Border Action, No More Deaths and Derechos Humanos who are involved in both border issues and in direct efforts at the border. Burgard also accompanies Chris Simcox, founder of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, during a month long demonstration in locations along the length of the southern border from Texas to California. From drug cartels and smuggler towns to besieged American ranchers routinely finding abandoned corpses on their expansive properties, Burgard and crew also reveal the desperate measures that illegal aliens take to flee their corrupt, impoverished country and the consequences of the unimpeded influx into this country of these millions of people. Presenting the facts and leaving it to the viewer to digest the stunning reality that exists along our southern border with Mexico, BORDER stands as an historic account of a nation divided.
