Borderlands is a documentary essay shot along the US side of the border with Mexico between 2017 and 2019, at the height of the Trump era. The series aims to develop a narration capable of going beyond the emergency perspective under which border related issues are often presented and to transport the complexity of this 3,600 kilometers long strip of land. Crossed by migrants and travellers for decades but also inhabited by a very diverse range of souls, the borderlands seem to become a different place from the two countries they separate.
