As if our dosage of far right-wing media coverage wasn’t enough, Hollywood has decided to infiltrate our movie theaters. The popularity of 911 Cover Up on Google Video is countered by another 9/11 film at the box office. This weekend, the discussion (or really the lecture) of illegal immigration makes its way to our theaters.

I just saw an interview on Lou Dobbs Tonight with the producer of a new documentary that opens soon. The film is entitled “Border War: The Battle Over Illegal Immigration.” According to its producer, the film is an accurate representation of what illegal immigration is doing to the United States. Somehow I doubt the film coverage will be fair, especially when the movie follows a widow whose husband was murdered by an undocumented immigrant. Surely the loss of the husband was “real,” no doubt, but is the person who killed the husband really representative of the undocumented population? I place my good faith in the film’s producer to explore the answer without prejudice.

The film can be viewed in Burbank, California this Thursday. Afterwards, various theaters in Arizona, California, Texas, Washington, and Washington, D.C. will be showing the film.
