On January 25, 2008, the Pima County Republican Women's Club invited to speak at their luncheon the Sheriff of Maricopa County, Joe Arpaio. Sheriff Joe is the self-described "toughest sheriff in the nation" and is widely known for his controversial enforcement strategies that have cost Maricopa County over 41 million dollars in lawsuits for civil rights violations, as well as his hard line against undocumented migrants.

This video depicts that morning when Tucson activists came out to let Arpaio and the Women's Club know that he was not welcome in Tucson, and neither are his policies.

This is the 8th installment in the podcast serialization of the "On The Edge: The Femicide in Ciudad Juarez". This week's segment is about free trade. Next monday the series will continue with a segment about violence against women.

This is the 7th installment in the podcast serialization of the "On The Edge: The Femicide in Ciudad Juarez". This week's segment is about migration and the border. Next monday the series will continue with a segment about free trade.

This is the 6th installment in the podcast serialization of the "On The Edge: The Femicide in Ciudad Juarez". This week's segment is about narcotrafficking. Next monday the series will continue with a segment about the border and migration.

This is the fifth installment of the podcast consisting of the different sections of "On The Edge: The Femicide in Ciudad Juarez", a documentary film I finished in 2006. Every Monday for the next several weeks I will post another section of the film. (To subscribe to the podcast, click here.)

This section is about the corruption of police and other officials, at all levels of government and both sides of the border. The next section, available next week, concerns drug trafficking and the drug war.

"Passage" is a study of the contrasts between the inequalities of urban human life, and the raw purity of the natural world. It reflects my fascination with both -- and ultimately, seeks out those places where they intersect.

Shot in Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil in 2004 and 2005.
