Writer and director Kevin Knoblock profiles five disparate views on immigration and the cost of political inaction in his latest documentary Border War: The Battle Over Illegal Immigration.

Immigration is one of the hottest political topics today. Knoblock discusses why he made the film, why illegal immigration is such a heated issue, and why both Republicans and Democrats aren’t doing anything about it.

The documentary will be playing at the AMC Mission Valley 20 tonight at 7:30pm and 10:10pm. It will then be available for DVD purchase in October.
