But in an instant, everything changed. After fourteen years of living undocumented in the U.S., Vanessa Torrez crossed into Mexico when visiting her dying mother, and as the only family member without U.S. citizenship, was not allowed to return to her family in the U.S. So the Torrez family left everything behind and moved to Nogales, Sonora, committed to remaining together. Now, while the family lives in a dilapidated public housing compound at a dangerous border crossing, Kimberly must cross the border daily on foot to go to school in the U.S. Meanwhile, her father, Rick, finds himself unemployed, stricken with Hepatitis C, and in dire need of a liver transplant. Vanessa travels to Juarez to obtain the visa that will allow her to live in the U.S. with her children if her husband dies. Told through the eyes of adolescent Kimberly over the year in which her family is forced to straddle two countries, Life on the Line offers an intimate story from a quintessentially American place, illuminating the changing face of America and the impact of our immigration policies through the story of one girl and her family."--film website, https://www.newday.com/film/lifeontheline . 650 0 $a Immigrants $z United States $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a Mexican-American Border Region $x Emigration and immigration. 651 0 $a Mexican-American Border Region $x Social conditions. 700 1 $a Gilomen, Jennifer. 700 1 $a Rubin, Sally. 710 2 $a Fine Line Films. 710 2 $a Public Broadcasting Service (U.S.) 710 2 $a New Day Films. 710 2 $a KAET-TV (Television station : Tempe, Ariz.) 941 $a 4 945 $a dvv 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724025044.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214025252.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20171212022046.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20141202012640.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1C27DA1879F111E483621AAFDAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
