The Center for Constitutional Rights is a proud member of the Dignity Not Detention Coalition, which seeks to get New York out of the business of immigration detention. Join the Dignity Not Detention Coalition and Skylight on Thursday, November 21, 6 - 9 p.m. at the Angelika Film Center and Cafe for a screening of the documentary Borderland: The Line Within, followed by a panel discussion. 

In Borderland, we journey with immigrants resisting and organizing for their human rights in the shadow of the vast border industrial complex, a multi-billion dollar business of surveillance, detention, and deportation effectively embedding the border in every corner of our nation. The interwoven stories of courageous immigrants seeking a way forward sheds light on the human cost of the struggle, as the threat to themselves and democracy looms with immigration used as a wedge issue for political gain and a gateway to authoritarian rule.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring film makers Pamela Yates and Paco de OnÍs, and special guests.
