Local homeschooler and Compass grad Cal Glover-Wessel was involved in the making of this documentary. He will be hosting the Q and A after the showing of the film. Please come!
People Helping People will be presenting Undeterred at the Latchis Theater on March 10th
Undeterred is a documentary about community resistance in the rural border town of Arivaca, Arizona. Since NAFTA, 9/11 and the Obama and Trump administrations border residents have been on the front-lines of the humanitarian crisis caused by increased border enforcement build up. Undeterred is an intimate and unique portrait of how residents in a small rural community, caught in the cross-hairs of global geo-political forces, have mobilized to demand our rights and to provide aid to injured, oft times dying migrants funneled across a wilderness desert. The film was made by Eva Lewis, a resident of Arivaca and long time member of People Helping People in the Border Zone (PHP). Undeterred was created in close collaboration with the Arivaca community and members of PHP.
There will be a Q and A afterword, so please stick around!

I’ve been wondering what Cal’s been up to lately. Good for him!
I’d add that Cal got a foothold in media by hosting a show on rfb (now WVEW). Young people who learn about media at an early age develop useful skills that can serve them later in life! Cal is proof.
