Undeterred is a documentary about community resistance in the rural border town of Arivaca, Arizona. Since NAFTA, 9/11 and the Obama and Trump administrations border residents have been on the front lines of the humanitarian crisis caused by increased border enforcement build-up. Undeterred is an intimate and unique portrait of how residents in a small rural community, caught in the cross-hairs of global geo-political forces, have mobilized to demand our rights and to provide aid to injured, oftentimes dying people funneled across a wilderness desert.
For Educators:
Undeterred, presents a rare opportunity for students to witness the effects of current policies on individuals living in the borderlands and engage with how these communities are fighting for civil and human rights too long denied. It provides more context and information for anyone learning about the ongoing crisis on the border. The free Undeterred Teaching Tool Kit is also a great supplement for students.
Excellent, Highly Recommended for academic film collections.” - Ashley Sosa, Video Librarian
