"The edges of things are always deceptive.
because we are taught to believe
in endings and beginnings.
but the truth is:
There Are No Borders." --Pavithra Mehta
Two Sides of the Same Border
Last year, three friends came up with a unique idea to portray realities along the US-Mexico border. They gave hundreds of disposable cameras to two groups of people on different 'sides': the undocumented migrants attempting to cross over, and the American minutemen assigned to stop them. The Border Film Project was started by a Rhodes scholar, a filmmaker, and a Wall Street analyst, to bring a human face to the complex issue of immigration. Their approach has no hidden agenda and no censorship. It's simply a means of letting pictures present the narratives of different perspectives.
BE THE CHANGE
All of us have borders that keep us from viewing things from a different perspective. The next time a conflict arises, take a moment to experience it from another's point of view.
