- Border Stories: A Mosaic Documentary
"Border Stories is re-imagining the documentary, one with no beginning, middle, or end. Its only linear aspect is the border itself. Our crew travels the length of the U.S.–Mexico border, from Brownsville, TX, to Tijuana, Mexico, in search of stories that portray the human face of this politically and emotionally-charged region."
- This American Life, Episode #170: Immigration
"We live in a big enough country that there are lots of laws too obscure for most of us to have heard of... but which actually affect tens of thousands of lives in huge ways. This show deals with one of them: a 1996 immigration law that the Immigration Service itself says is unfair. Most of the law's original sponsors in Congress now say they went too far, and that they were too harsh when they passed the law. And yet most of the law's key provisions still stand unchanged."
