UNDETERRED is a documentary about community resistance in the rural border town of Arivaca, AZ. Since NAFTA, 9/11 and the Obama and Trump administrations, border residents have been on the front lines of the humanitarian crisis caused by increased border enforcement. UNDETERRED explores how residents in a small rural community, caught in the crosshairs of global geo-political forces, have mobilized to demand their rights and to provide aid to those suffering, both physically and mentally, as a result of these policies.
The film was made by Eva Lewis, a resident of Arivaca and long time member of People Helping People in the Border Zone (PHP). UNDETERRED was created in close collaboration with the Arivaca community and members of PHP.
