    NEWS FLASH! NEWS FLASH! NEWS FLASH!

    Michael Grais has visited the border in Cochise County twice recently. He is deeply concerned about border issues. He and Mercedes Maharis are collaborating on two new, exciting feature film projects... THE PRINCE OF PERU about foreign adoption in Latin America written by Canadian awarding winning writer Larry Pederson and BORDER WAR written by Michael Grais himself about US Border Patrol enforcement. We believe these are blockbuster films waiting to happen!

    We are seeking funding for these films! Email us...

  • COCHISE COUNTY, USA: CRIES FROM THE BORDER

    The illegal immigration issue was the topic of “Cochise County, USA: Cries from the Border,” produced and directed by Mercedes Maharis.

    (www.criesfromtheborder.net) A timely subject and controversial issue, the film uses one of the most extreme examples, at the most heavily trafficked illegal immigrant crossing point in Arizona, of how illegal aliens are infiltrating our country at an unprecedented rate, endangering our citizens, littering our deserts, and transporting drugs and criminals.

    “Cochise County” is a balanced looked at the illegal immigration issue and sympathizes with Mexicans who are seeking a better life.

    It shows us the tragedy that many people face when trying to cross the treacherous desert on foot unprepared, often dying midway, only to be left behind by their parties. However, at the same time, we are lead to an understanding that the ease with which Mexicans cross the border is identical to that of people from other countries.

    Interviews with Border Patrol officers tell us that every month, they are arresting a growing number of people from many different countries, including Iraq, Iran, and Syria.

    This incredibly well constructed documentary does well not to politicize the border issue; rather, it forms a well-founded argument that our open borders are national security issue that is being ignored by the government.

    "...Of all the recorded shows, however, the most engrossing was "Cries from the Border," which I do not hesitate to recommend to anyone who is interested in a factual and unbiased account of illegal immigration in our area."
