A clip of Walking the Line, a documentary produced by Jeremy Levine '06 and Landon Van Soest '04, will air on Free Speech TV (available on the DISH Network) at 8 p.m., October 9. The clip will rerun on the station at various times throughout that week.
Walking the Line offers a harrowing view of the chaos along the U.S.-Mexico border through private citizens who are taking the law into their own hands. Following a growing movement of anti-immigrant vigilantes, some clad in fatigues and armed with semi-automatic weapons, the documentary provides a scathing critique of our failed border policy.
Walking the Line has been accepted at fifteen film festivals and was named a finalist for the Angelus Awards which “honors student filmmakers whose work explores the complexity of the human condition with creativity, compassion and respect.” The piece also received top prize in the “Human Rights/Human Dignity” category at the Ohne Kohle International Film Festival in Austria/Germany.
The next local screening of Walking the Line will be at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 19 at Uris Hall, Cornell University as on part of the Latin American Film Series.
