Walking the Line offers a harrowing view of the chaos along the U.S.-Mexico border through individuals who have taken the law into their own hands. In southern Arizona, a region celebrated for its history of lawlessness and currently the most highly trafficked area for illegal immigration in the world, these fatigue-wearing, self-styled warriors man the frontlines in what they dub a “border war.”
Following rancher vigilantes with semiautomatic weapons, outlaw pastors with four-wheel drives, and hapless immigrants dreaming of a better life, the film offers a scathing critique of a failed border policy; a policy that provokes lawlessness and achieves hundreds of deaths every year. At once disturbing, offbeat, and probing, the film explores the tangled line between what is patriotic, what is moral, and what is just.
