What a century of border films teaches about the real and imagined
worlds of the US-Mexico borderlands—and how this understanding
helps build better relations across boundaries. Â Border
Witness is an account of cultural collision and fusion between
Mexico and the United States, as seen on the ground and in films
from the past hundred years. Blending film studies with political
and cultural geography, Michael Dear investigates the making of
cross-border identity and community in the territories between two
nations. Â Border Witness introduces a new "border film"
genre just now entering its golden age. A geographer and activist,
Dear adopts an accessible and engaged perspective, combining the
stories told by these films with insights drawn from his own
decades-long research and travel. From early silent films to
virtual reality, and from revolution to the present global crisis,
border films provide fresh evidence for real and imagined politics
and for envisioning future transborder architectures carved from
in-between spaces. In an era of global geopolitics that
favors walls and war over diplomacy, Dear's insights have relevance
for borders around the world.
