Award-winning documentary film ‘Border South’ (2019, 90 min) brings together fragmented stories from Hondurans crossing through southern Mexico to assemble a vivid portrait of the thousands immigrants who disappear along the trail. Based on years of collaborative ethnographic research, this film reveals the immigrants’ resilience, ingenuity, and humor while also exposing a global migration system that renders human beings invisible in life as well as death. U-M alum, John Doering-White, who is Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Social Work at the University of South Carolina, collaborated on the film and will join for the screening and a Q&A with the audience after.

A reception will follow in the lobby of the Keene Theater.

Co-presented by the Residential College Social Theory & Practice major program and the Department of Anthropology.
