Borderless: A docu-poem
about undocumented workers in Canada (DVD/ VHS, 25 minutes).
What are the struggles and dreams of undocumented workers
in Canada? Geraldo, a Costa Rican construction worker, and
Angela, a second-generation Caribbean domestic worker, tell
of their struggles against labour exploitation. Against the
odds, they work to build a future for families painfully separated
by restrictive immigration laws. Viewers meet an often-invisible
workforce and reflect on the hidden costs of sustaining our
first world economy.
English and French versions included on both DVD and VHS
copies plus a study guide in English. Click

DVD $25. VHS $32.
