The Chronicle of the Undocumented

Welcome to The Chronicle of  The Undocumented a web series created from the nearly one hundred and forty hours of footage shot for the ninety minute broadcast.  It honors how I shot and conceived the original film– ‘as a chronicle’ rather than a constructed narrative.

I will present three episodes per week– Monday, Wednesday, and Friday– ranging from 3 to 5 minutes in duration.  You can watch the series in chronological order or, after there first three episodes are broadcast, create the order that you wish to watch.

Also, there will be excerpts from my production journal which will form the basis of an accompanying blog.

I invite you to tweet– #hiptruth, or like the series on Facebook and join the page: The Undocumented documentary.

If it engages you, please consider to donate.




Thanks you.

Marco.

The Migrant Trail

MigrantTrail1

The Migrant Trail Game

“THE MIGRANT TRAIL  presents a first-person journey through Arizona’s desert borderlands.  Play as  an undocumented immigrant attempting to cross the Arizona desert and/or a border patrol agent attempting to secure the border.  Playing the game offers an alternative  platform to further engage conversation, investigation and inquiry, into the themes and questions raised by the documentary.

Migrant Mode Intro

Every year an unknown number of migrants cross through the harsh Sonoran desert from Mexico into Arizona.   They pay $1500-$2500 to join a crossing party, that is led by for hire guides referred to as Coyotes.   If one cannot keep up, twists ankle or runs out of water, he or she is left behind and many die.  On average, the remains of 200 dead migrants are found each year.  It’s not known how many are never found.

Border Patrol Mode Intro

Every day U.S. Border Patrol agents patrol the Sonoran Desert along the Arizona-Mexico border. Their job is to apprehend undocumented border crossers, provide first aid to the injured, and locate the remains of dead migrants.
