This pandemic has brought to a halt the work of many filmmakers. Some were in production and others have had their distribution plans ruined. But compared to the life and death situations many people are facing today, these are only setbacks. I’ve been spending time in Sonora, Mexico working on a documentary on how U.S. border militarization is choking off the ties of the Tohono O’odham with the rest of their tribe on the U.S. side of the border. (It used to be one community before the border broke up their lands in two.) It’s a portrait of a small community under siege as various forces threaten their survival. I harbor faith that I can go back and continue working on this project. I owe it to the Tohono O’odham in Mexico who opened their doors to me and trusted me to tell their story. I desperately hope to see them again soon. #documentary #filmonhold #indiefilm #documentaryfilm #tohonooodham #border #borderlands @nymediacenter @ifpfilm @idaorg @itvsindies @sundanceorg (at Sonora, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-r78klJVax/?igshid=1etfskjaal54d
