borderfilmproject.jpg The Border Film Project is very interesting project that hopes to raise awareness about the issues related to the border through images.

The purpose of the project is to capture the perspective of both immigrants coming to the United States and minuteman at the border attempting to stop them. Both groups are given disposable cameras to take pictures of their journey or their experience and they are asked to send them back to the Border Film Project.

Both sets of photographers have the power to show everyday Americans what they otherwise cannot see, providing a more personal look into a rich and complicated issue.

The project is run by Boston College grads Brett Huneycutt and Victoria Criado, and University of Arizona grad Rudy Adler.
At the conclusion of the project the various images will be shown in galleries in Mexico and the United States.
