This is an updated version of Wild Versus Wall, produced for the Sierra Club by Pan Left member Steev Hise. The film, which was first released in 2008, concerns the ecological effects of new enforcement infrastructure on the U.S./Mexico border. This new revision includes the newest footage and photos of wall segments, construction, and effects, as well as messaging about the current presidential administration's failure to halt or reverse Bush-era policy.
Narrated by David Yetman.
