It compares these screen visions with what was happening on the ground at the time in both countries. From revolution through to the present global crisis, the films are left to speak for themselves, but their stories are measured alongside the author's experience following decades of research, writing, and activism along the line. Taken together, this book outlines a unique Border Film genre just now entering its Golden Age. This book also comes with a message to both nations that they should learn more from borderlanders about how to conduct cross-border lives"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Border witness : from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico -- Bisected bodies : early silent films -- Making filmscapes -- Using film as evidence -- Revolution and modernization -- The great migrations -- Border film noir -- Borderlands before borders -- From final girl to woman warrior -- Narco-nations : men at war -- Lives of the undocumented -- Moral tales, border law -- Border walls : screen folly and fantasy -- The Mexican dream/El SuenÌo Mexicano -- A golden age for border film -- Ways of seeing the border (beyond film) -- Border witness through film -- Appendix 1.
