For the last few weeks I’ve been researching the impact of the Wall that is being built at the border between the USA & Mexico, and how it is leading to the deaths of migrants in the Sonora desert in Arizona.
The new player we built for the Resist Interviews is now up and running featuring conversations with Prof. Wendy Brown, Andrew Simms, Charles Leadbeater, Annie Lennox, Jay Griffiths, Mike Davis, Noam Chomsky, John Perkins, Naomi Klein, John Berger and Wikileaks. These interviews are edited parts of our research for the film with Gael Garcia Bernal. We are asking many writers and political thinkers about their views on power structures, resistance and the future, and rather than keep this private, we wanted to share what we’re learning.
