= = = = = = =Kino Border Initiative: People helping people
Posted April 6, 2010
(Nogales, Mexico) April 6, 2010 – Two artists come together in Southern Arizona, on the U.S. – Mexico border, for eight days to work on a very special seven-and-a-half minute documentary short film. Honing their skills and combining their diverse cultural backgrounds, they straddle the border and bring together a heartwarming view of the Kino Border Initiative, people helping people through their darkest moment.
The Border is a place that mainstream media has continually sensationalized and exploited, but here, there are good people putting aside political agendas and offering multicultural camaraderie while giving a simple meal and spiritual support to innocent people caught in the world wind of collateral damage in the border debacle.
