The River and the Wall
Three Texans, a New York ornithologist, and a Brazilian immigrant embark on a 1,200 mile mountain bike, horse, and canoe journey down the Rio Grande to document the US-Mexico border before construction of a border wall and to explore its impacts on immigration, public lands, wildlife, landowners, and border security.
Directed by Ben Masters (Unbranded) and produced by Hillary Pierce (Tower), the SXSW award-winning documentary takes audiences on an unforgettable, hilarious, and gorgeous adventure down one of the most controversial, and often misunderstood, regions in the world: The U.S.-Mexico border.
