Overview of short films

“Lumpkin, GA” portrays the fate of a fading Georgia town as an undocumented immigrant is caught in legal limbo, facing deportation and reflecting on his future while a private immigration prison generates millions in profits. 

“Our Country” is an award-winning experimental animated documentary that captures some of the innumerable struggles immigrant families face living in the U.S. 

“Invented Borders” is an animated and live action video essay on the different facets of today’s emotional immigration debate in the U.S.
