Synopsis

In a desert landscape, a small community of Americans lives in the shade of the wall erected to protect them from illegal immigrants.

MUBI's take

This piercing documentary from Luc Peter & Stephanie Barbey follows the inhabitants of a small town in the shade of the wall that runs along the U.S.-Mexican border. A film about migration in which the migrants themselves are a structural absence, Broken Land is a poignant study in fear and empathy.
