Five friends embark on a 1,200-mile mountain bike, horse, and canoe expedition down the Rio Grande to document the borderlands before construction of a wall and to explore how it would impact wildlife, immigration, public lands, border security, and landowners. Told through stunning cinematography, the film will take you on an adventure down the US-Mexico border to see the 1,000 foot high canyons, vast mountains, vibrant cities, and lush forests in the path of Trump's proposed border wall. During the three month journey, the team meets the team meets with Democrat Congressman Beto O'Rourke, Republican Congressman Will Hurd, Border Patrol agents, wildlife biologists, immigration experts, and landowners to better understand how a wall would work and where it would go. As the vast wilderness of the Big Bend gives way to the more populated Lower Rio Grande Valley, the team comes face-to-face with the human side of the immigration debate and enters uncharted emotional waters.

Wonderful documentary with a lot of effort and love obviously put into it. Stunning visuals. The idiots just 1 star-ing it because they love Republicanism more than they love America or appreciate documentaries - just ignore them.

Beautiful! Lots of thought and research went into this. Ben is a true conservationist. We all need to think bigger. I love it. It’s very concerning how this wall affects local land owners and migration. We can do better.

Beautiful cinematography and what a gorgeous part of America. I've never seen it and am glad I got to see it through this film. It shows the reality of what a wall will affect...ranchers, wildlife, land use, farming, communities to name a few.
