The BBCC Presents 'The 800 Mile Wall'
 PVNN
March 25, 2010
| | The 800 Mile Wall highlights the construction of the new border walls along the U.S.-Mexico border as well as the effect on migrants trying to cross into the U.S. This powerful 90-minute film is an unflinching look at a failed U.S. border strategy that many believe has caused the death of thousands of migrants and violates fundamental human rights. | |
The Bucerías Bilingual Community Center, located on Calle 16 de septiembre #48 in Bucerías, Nayarit, invites the community to attend a showing of an important documentary film on April 8th at 6:30 pm. (Jalisco time)
The 800 Mile Wall is a must see for all those who care about human life and is particularly relevant to those of us who enjoy the freedom of crossing the US/MX border annually. The movie documents the known 5,000 deaths of Mexican migrants in the USA deserts, mountains and canals and contrasts the policies of the USA and Canada's humane guest worker program as one of many solutions to ending the deaths.
Following the movie, Rene and Joan Adrian will lead a discussion on a variety of solutions, including those proposed by Humane Borders, a Tucson based organization dedicated to stopping the deaths.
For more information, call (329) 298-3527 between 10 am and 3 pm Jalisco time, Monday through Friday.
