Border Film Project

Today i received by email an advertising for a new photography magazine in the Netherlands...the YVI Magazine distributed by the same house as the well none FOAM Magazine and GUP. But these post is not about the magazine it self...in the body of the email i found the Border Film Project. Was a great surprise to see the website...the project gives disposable cameras to Mexican Migrants attempting to cross the border with the USA. When they receive the cameras they also receive a envelope (already with the stamp and address) to send the cameras back to the project if they make it across. But what is unique about the Border Film Project is that the cameras are not only given to the migrants...they are also distributed to the Minutemen...American volunteers that stay along the borders with Mexico to try to stop the migrants in there way...so the project shows both sides in an open impartial point of view..the people them self's are responsible for the images others will see about there story's. The project also made some videos... take a look at: Grand Central Station, Woman Carrying Babies, Night in the Desert and Y'all come.

Hope you enjoy..for sure helps us breaking some of the stereotypes we have about the subject.
