The Border’: Tale Of Sex, Drugs, Human Trafficking

SAN DIEGO — Viewers reacted strongly Monday when they attended the local film premier of “The Border.â€

Go Chris! Glad to see a good crowd showed up. Sorry they had to quote that jerk Enrique Morones in your article though.

Enrique goes to every event in this area and the media always gives him plenty of coverage.

I was at the Charlotte, NC screening of the movie. I was extremely impressed by the movie as it was a powerful presentation of the invasion. As the name indicates, it takes place at ground zero. I also had the pleasure of speaking with Chris Burgard, the director for quite some time afterwards. For those of you that haven't seen the movie, you'll need to get the DVD as HBO has refused to screen it (would you expect anything different from an elitist owned MSM station). Also, don't plan on seeing it on any MSM stations as it is far to politically incorrect for them to show.

After years of political polemics regarding illegal immigration and border enforcement, this documentary is a refreshing, open-eyed look at the situation on the ground. Actor-turned-director Chris Burgard has taken his camera crew on location to get to the heart of the matter.



Burgard�s film follows his enormous blue bus as he travels to Washington, D.C. and to our Southern border for a first-hand look at issues that are generally presented in sound-bites by the evening news. Much of the film�s attention is given to the Minuteman Civil Defense Corp (MCDC), providing an inside look at the nature of its operations and its participants. For his documentary, Burgard offers to provide expense-paid transportation to MDCD Founder Chris Simcox in order to gather coverage of Simcox�s activities.


Complementary interviews with migrant workers, illegal immigrants, the ACLU, a hospital spokesperson and infectious disease expert, Washington politicians and residents of the border region all help round out the viewpoints. Yet, Burgard�s most powerful footage is collected in the border crossing regions where litter, deceased victims of brigands and the elements, armed Mexican military incursions, �rape trees� and other horrors are commonplace. Burgard travels well outside the �safe zone� and risks his life to get close to the most threatening of invaders, the armed drug smugglers.


At film�s end, applause was vigorous, and viewers spoke of feeling �like an American again�. Devoid of mind-dazzling computer effects and manipulative post-production techniques, this film is a genuine documentary. So powerful is its honesty that, as related by Burgard, one theater owner ran it simultaneously with �Harry Potter� yet �Border� drew more audience. As its website boasts, the film has already won first-place documentary awards in film festivals.


I found the film�s pacing to be about right for long attention spans, occasionally breaking the grim reality with humorous moments. I reiterate, this film does not make use of popping special effects to dazzle, focusing instead on the story in front of the camera lens.


In the after-screening Q&A, director Burgard expressed hope that the November release will bring this film to every American home and school and will open America�s eyes to the real story at our southern border.

I agree.

You really have to see it for yourself to realize how powerful that documentary is.

You have to respect the Mr. Buregard too, since he financed all of the costs out of pocket, from what I recall.
