Walls of Shame The US-Mexico Border Wall
The border between the US and Mexico features not just walls of concrete and steel, but a vast desert barrier, where people risk their lives to enter the US illegally.
A documentary series about division, and about the barriers that men erect, in calculation or desperation, to separate themselves from others, or others from them. When diplomacy and conciliation fail, this is the alternative, and not since medieval times have walls been so in demand around the world. It matters little what they are called - walls, barriers or fences - the intention is the same: to redefine human relations into "us" and "them".
