(East Syracuse, NY – March 2013) Community Even: CNY Reads One Book Film Series will present Crossing Arizona March 6 at 2:30 p.m. at Syracuse OASIS, 6333 Route 298 in East Syracuse.
An up-to-the moment look at the hotly debated issues of illegal immigration and border security on the U.S./Mexico border. Heightened security along the Texas and California borders funnels an estimated 4,500 illegal migrants, most traveling on foot, into remote sectors of the Arizona desert on a daily basis. The perilous journey, which can take up to four days, has led to the deaths of thousands of migrants.
Crossing Arizona reveals the surprising political stances people take when immigration and border policy fails everyone.
This event is free and open to the public.
