Vanishing Borders (2014)
Four Women. Different Cultures. New York City.
It tells the story of four immigrant women—Teboho Moja, Melainie Rogers, Daphnie Sicre, and Yatna Vakahria—living in New York City, who are transforming their communities through their work, activism, and the way their cultural hybridity influences their interactions with others. While media portrayals of immigration primarily present it as an abstract threat, this documentary finds the face and heart behind the thousands of people who come into the United States every year determined to make the life they’ve always dreamed of a reality.
