My May Day pro-immigrant activism day began at the AMC theater, just a few blocks from Union Square Park, where I would be rallying later. I saw a special screening of Brian Ging’s film Beyond Borders, hosted by the Tribeca Film Institute and Presented by the New York Immigration Coalition. This documentary film looks at the immigration issue from all sides of the debate. The movie goes across the U.S. and even outside the country, talking to opinion makers and the real people behind the headlines and talking heads. The film really tries to be fair and balanced, featuring Minutemen, Noam Chomsky, and Gustavo Arellano of Ask a Mexican.
Film : Beyond Borders

Before the May 1st march for immigrants in NYC, the film Beyond Borders is showing.
the Tribeca Film Institute will hold an exclusive one-day screening of the new feature documentary Beyond Borders – The Debate Over Human Migration on May 1st at 1PM at the AMC 19th St. East theatres, 890 Broadway at 19th Street. Beyond Borders tackles the immigration debate head-on with those supportive of immigration reform in the US and those very much against it. Including theorists such as Noam Chomsky, and anti-immigration activists, the Minute Men Project. This timely documentary addresses some of American voters’ primary concerns in this election; immigrants, their rights when crossing the border, and how it will affect US citizens.
I’m going to try and make it to the screening with my kids before the march. You should as well if you’re going to be in the NYC area.
