It will be a fascinating documentary about the traditions and conflicts in the remote border region of Ojinaga, Chihuahua and Presidio, Texas. The Arhoolie Foundation via the Arhoolie Fund at the Tides Foundation contributed towards paying the musicians heard in the film. Most people consider this harsh region a living hell and have moved away - but those who remain make it their home and try to make the best of this environment. The editing will be done this fall and we will keep you posted on the film's progress. I'd love to see them in libraries and cultural centers as well as in homes.
