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. 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.
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.
