Hillary Pierce, producer of the documentary 'The River and the Wall,' recently spoke with KRWG's Susan MorΓ© about the film, which was shown in Las Cruces. The documentary explores the potential impact of border wall construction on the natural and cultural landscape of the Big Bend region in Texas.
Pierce emphasized that the film aims to raise awareness about the unique environment of Big Bend National Park and the surrounding areas, which could be affected by border infrastructure. The documentary features perspectives from individuals with diverse viewpoints, including a hunter, a rancher, and a conservationist, to present a balanced look at the issue.
The screening in Las Cruces was part of a broader effort to engage communities in discussions about border security and environmental conservation. Pierce noted that the film has sparked conversations about the balance between national security and the preservation of natural habitats.
