special guest Documentary CROSSING ARIZONA, directed by Dan De Vivo and Joseph Mathew, 95 minutes



“Crossing Arizona” is an eye-opening look at the hotly debated issues surrounding illegal immigration. Heightened security in California and Texas has pushed illegal border-crossers into the treacherous Arizona desert in unprecedented numbers – an estimated 4,500 a day.Most are Mexican men in search of work, but increasingly the border-crossers are women and children seeking to reunite with their husbands and fathers.This influx of
migrants crossing through Arizona and the attendant rising death toll have elicited complicated feelings about human rights, culture, class, labor and national security.
