When six Arcadia High School students embarked on their project, their goal sprang from the pure idealism of the young: Reveal a solution to the problem of illegal immigration by making a documentary.
After five months, dozens of interviews and more than 40 hours of video, "The Border" reflects the nature of their subject: complicated, with many different perspectives.
The students interviewed state Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, who co-sponsored Senate Bill 1070, which makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally. And they talked to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a vocal supporter of the law, known for his crime-suppression sweeps that critics say target immigrants.
