Borderland | The Line Within dives deep into the human and economic toll of the border industrial complex. This powerful immigration documentary examines how systems built on profit shape the lives of migrant communities through exploitation, detention, and deportation. Combining intimate personal stories with striking data visualizations, the film shows that the border is not just a line on a map—it’s a network of policies, business interests, and enforcement practices that touch communities far beyond the U.S.-Mexico border.
