BORDER FLOWS' is a documentary short looking at the complex transnational issue of cross border pollution in the Tijuana River Valley Watershed and its impact on community members on either side of the border. The film highlights the environmental crisis of cross border pollution, while juxtaposing the rigidity of the US-Mexican border wall with the fluidity of water and air pollution.
Walls are permeable, infiltrated by flowing groundwater beneath our feet, a shared atmosphere above our heads, and the movement of culture that seeps through the cracks of our borders.
'BORDER FLOWS' tackles this complex socio-environmental issue through a cultural lens, highlighting the cooperation between US and Mexican community members, politicians, and cultures to create solutions to this pressing issue.
