Testimony
“BORDERLAND | THE LINE WITHIN takes a surprisingly multidisciplinary approach fueled by both personal history and government data.... Woven into the personal narratives, the data visualizations — and the scholars’ explanation of why they matter — make the message land even harder. If video footage provides a damning perspective, this data offers an expansive one, allowing BORDERLAND to explore the crisis as both individual and systemic. The issue is bigger than any one person. BORDERLAND comes at it from more than one direction, and is more effective for it.“
ALISSA WILKINSON, THE NEW YORK TIMES ``DOCUMENTARY LENS``
“I found the film to be deeply moving, an authentic look back at a dismal history of human rights violations by Guatemala’s former leaders, as well as a look forward toward historic and legal accountability. Kudos to those who made history in their tenacious search for the truth, and to those who had the courage to document the wrongs and tell the world.”

“I just finished watching GRANITO, and I am simply amazed at what has been accomplished. It was inspiring, terrifying, and humbling all at once. Thank you so very much for agreeing to share this with us. This film has everything we could hope for. It is a perfect example of the importance of every person's work in protecting human rights, no matter how small it may seem at the time. It make us face the ugly truth - even us here in the US - but then it offers hope, and hands the torch to the next generation of advocates.”

“I absolutely love how you feature and tell the collective stories and weave in questions for viewers to get us thinking about our own ethical responsibilities in this world. Thank you for these films.``
