Description
Borderless gives voice to the struggles and dreams of undocumented workers in Canada. Geraldo, a Costa Rican construction worker, and Angela, a second-generation Caribbean domestic worker, struggle against labour exploitation. Against the odds, they work to build a future for families painfully separated by restrictive immigration laws. Viewers meet an often invisible workforce and reflect on the hidden costs of sustaining our "first world" economy. Includes discussion guide, and an outline for a 3.5 hour workshop. Borderless is directed by Gemini nominated filmmaker Min Sook Lee. Narration is writen by poet Dionne Brand, winner of the 1997 Governor General's Literary Award.
