"Both a vivid message movie and a wonder-filled paean to a singularly beautiful and biodiverse environment." -New York Times. This critically acclaimed new documentary follows five friends on an immersive adventure through the unknown wilds of the Texas borderlands as they travel 1200 miles from El Paso to the Gulf of Mexico on horses, mountain bikes, and canoes. They set out to document the borderlands and explore the potential impacts of a wall on the natural environment, but as the wilderness gives way to the more populated and heavily trafficked Lower Rio Grande Valley, they come face-to-face with the human side of the immigration debate and enter uncharted emotional waters.
"Compelling, gorgeously shot, super-timely... Should be required viewing of anyone charged with making a public case for or against a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico." -Los Angeles Times
"Without preaching, it immerses viewers in the natural world and makes an effective case for keeping it that way." -Hollywood Reporter
"By the end of this epic and thoughtful expedition, you're left with the unmistakable feeling that some things should and indeed must remain unsullied by cheap Washington grandstanding." -Austin Chronicle
