The Border Crossed Us is a compelling 2023 documentary that dives deep into the lives of three individuals on the US/Mexico border. It’s not just about the politics; it’s more about the human experience. Loretta van der Horst crafts a narrative that’s almost poetic, shifting from intense, real-life moments to quieter reflections that let you soak in the atmosphere of the border. The pacing feels natural, with suspense woven in as the characters face their own dilemmas. Performances are authentic, capturing the struggles and hope of those caught in this complex web. There’s a rawness to it; you feel the weight of their stories without any gloss. It’s distinct in its approach to storytelling, making it a thought-provoking piece for collectors interested in social issues.
