Filmmaker Richard Barber made a series of short films between the summer of 2018 and January 2020. It documents a period when the cruelty of US immigration policies became so egregious and glaring that ordinary people decided they had to become involved in resisting them. "To Right The Wrong: Border Stories” weaves these short films into a single 37-minute documentary. It features the birth of Team Brownsville, a group of volunteers helping asylum seekers at the Matamoros-Brownsville border, as well as the witnessing of child detention prisons in Tornillo, Texas and Homestead, Florida led by Brooklynite Joshua Rubin, whose lonely vigil grew into “Witness At The Border.” The film leads up to a convergence of these volunteers and witnesses in Brownsville/Matamoros in January, 2020.

Barber works as a producer-editor at CBS News, where last year he produced an hour-long documentary: “The Faces of Family Separation,” which is still streaming on CBSN http://bit.ly/FacesofFamilySeparation.

The film at 7:30 EST will be followed by a discussion with members of the Witness at the Border team.
