This volume closely examines the near-ubiquitous images of state
security walls, domes, and other such defense enclosures flashing
across movie screens since 2006, the year of the ratification of
George W. Bush’s Secure Fence Act. This study shows that many of
the films of this era enable us to imaginatively test the effects
of these security mechanisms on citizens, immigrants, refugees, and
other sovereign states, challenging our commitment to constructing
them, maintaining them, staffing them, and subsidizing their
enormous overheads. With case studies ranging from Atomic Blonde
and Ready Player One to Black Panther and Elysium; Walls without
Cinema serves as a timely counterpoint to the xenophobic rhetoric
and abusive, carceral security conditions that characterize the
Trump administration’s management of the Mexico-U.S. border
situation.
