The Empire’s War on the Border

Why are there thousands of bodies on the US Mexico border?

Join Abby Martin as she investigates why there are thousands of bodies on the US Mexico border – and uncovers a hidden war – in this full-length documentary, originally aired as a two-part series.

Discover what is not only a shockingly high body count, but a humanitarian crisis manufactured by the US government. Sinister tactics by a bloated Border Patrol, a for-profit prison pipeline, and a court system that looks more like a slave auction, all surround the senseless death of thousands.

From NAFTA’s impact to hidden camera footage of “Operation Streamline,” learn about this US policy of death, and the humanitarian disaster caused by the US deportation machine.
