Border Film Project

The Border Film Project ({{langx|es|Proyecto fotográfico de frontera}}) is an art project examining United States–Mexico border immigration from two perspectives. The project gave disposable cameras to two groups on different sides of the United States–Mexico border: illegal migrants crossing the desert and the Minutemen volunteers trying to stop them.{{cite news |first=Steve |last=Hartman |title=Immigration Captured On Camera |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/immigration-captured-on-camera/ |work=CBS News |publisher=CBS Broadcasting Inc. |date=2006-11-03 |access-date=2007-05-13 }} Photos reveal facets of the dispute previously unavailable to the public: men hopping fences, riding trucks, and sleeping in the desert.{{cite web |url=http://picks.yahoo.com/picks/i/20051120.html |title=Border Film Project |accessdate=2007-05-13 |author=Yahoo!
