For Immediate Release
SCREENING OF NEW IMMIGRATION FILM TO BENEFIT CHIRLA
Los Angeles, CA (November 12, 2007)— Camborne Productions is pleased to announce the first screening of the new immigration documentary Beyond Borders: The Debate Over Human Migration. The screening, a benefit for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA ), will take place this Thursday November 15, at the Laemmle Music Hall in Beverly Hills, CA.
CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas is featured in the documentary
and will participate in a panel discussion with the filmmakers
immediately following the screening. Executive Producer Simon Burrow is
“pleased that the first screening of Beyond Borders will benefit this
important organization,” and praised CHIRLA’s activism on behalf of Los
Angeles’ large immigrant community. Burrow is the founder of Radical
Immigration, an organization dedicated to creating a world where
responsible people have the right to live and work wherever they
choose. “Partnering with CHIRLA is a natural next step for us,” Burrow
said. “We have similar goals to advance the human rights of migrants
and refugees.”
Directed by Brian Ging (American Yearbook), the film asks the question:
Is there a human right to migrate? Beyond Borders takes a wide-ranging
look at the subject of immigration, both from historical and modern
perspectives. The current fight over Mexican immigration in the United
States is prominently featured, with commentary from humorist Gustavo
Arellano (Ask A Mexican), Noam Chomsky, and noted UCLA Chicano Studies
professor Abel Valenzuela, among others.
Admission to the screening is free. Guests are asked to make an
appropriate donation to CHIRLA to help advance their mission to
advocate for the interests of the immigrant community.
