LOS ANGELES—Screening: BORDER SOUTH

Still from BORDER SOUTH.

LOS ANGELES—THE BLUE HOUR, a monthly film series, begins with Raul Pastrana’s BORDER SOUTH, a feature length documentary told against the backdrop of the North American Migrant Trail that weaves together migrant stories of resilience and survival from different vantage points. As Mexico and the United States crack down on the North American Migrant Trails, forcing immigrants into more dangerous territory, Raul Pastrana’s BORDER SOUTH exposes a global migration system that renders human beings invisible in life as well as death.

As part of Plaza de la Raza’s 50th anniversary programming, THE BLUE HOUR is a documentary film and discussion series that will take place from February through April 2020 at Plaza de la Raza’s Margo Albert Theater in Lincoln Heights, northeast Los Angeles. The monthly film screenings will provide a communal space to see compelling, award-winning feature length and short documentaries that will examine the theme of immigration ranging from local to global perspectives.
