CHILDREN IN NO MAN’S LAND is a documentary that uncovers the current plight of the 100,000 unaccompanied minors entering the United States every year. This film gives this timely political debate about the U.S.-Mexico border a human face by exploring the story of Maria de Jesus (13) and her cousin Rene (12) as they attempt to cross the US/Mexico border alone to reunite with their mothers in the Midwest. Focusing on minors crossing through the Sonora Desert area in Nogales, Arizona, this film explores every detail of these children’s journey as well as the journeys of other children the filmmakers meet on the way.
CHILDREN IN NO MAN’S LAND uncovers in an intimate and personal way where they are coming from, what their journeys have been like and how they’ve gone about it, through to the arrival at their destination — their new home, The United States of America.
Film introductions by professors Katarzyna Marciniak and Michael Gillespie.
Sponsored by The College of Arts and Sciences, Making and Breaking the Law Theme, and the Wealth and Poverty Theme.
