DESCRIPTION:Film About Deadly, Failed Border Policies\n\n“THE 800 MILE 
 WALL”\n\nScreens In Santa Cruz, Watsonville & Seaside\n\nDiscussion with 
 Director and Human Rights Panelists to Follow Screening\n\nSANTA CRUZ, CA - 
 The Resource Center for Nonviolence, la Liga de la Comunidad, the ACLU of 
 Santa Cruz, and other local organizations will host a special screening of 
 the new documentary film, “The 800 Mile Wall,” on Friday, February 26, 
 2010, at 7:00 p.m. at the First Congregational Church, 900 High Street in 
 Santa Cruz; at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday February 27th at the Lutheran 
 Community Church, 95 Alta Vista in Watsonville; and, at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday 
 February 28th at the Peace Resource Center, 1364 Fremont Blvd. in Seaside. 
 The screenings will be followed by a panel discussion including the 
 film’s director John Carlos Frey and the film’s producer Jack 
 Lorenz,\n\nJohn Carlos Frey’s latest film, “The 800 Mile Wall,” 
 highlights the construction of the new border walls along the U.S.-Mexico 
 border…and the lethal effects on migrants trying to cross into the United 
 States. Migrant deaths have soared since enforcement and security measures 
 were implemented by the United States beginning with Operation Gatekeeper 
 in 1994.\n\n“The 800 Mile Wall” takes an unflinching look at that 
 failed U.S. border enforcement strategy that many believe has caused the 
 death of thousands of migrants and violates fundamental human rights.  
 Migrants perishing in the deserts of the U.S. southwest and drowning in the 
 All American Canal, as well as seemingly unaffected members of the San 
 Diego County Water Authority, are featured in this eye-opening film.  The 
 documentary’s released coincided with the distribution of the San Diego 
 ACLU’s recent border death report, Humanitarian Crisis: Migrant Deaths at 
 the U.S.-Mexico Border.\n\nA $5.00-$10.00 suggested donation is asked at 
 the door and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Proceeds will 
 support the film screenings and the work of “la Liga de la 
 Comunidad.”\n\nOther sponsors include:  Monterey Peace and Justice 
 Center, First Congregational Church of Santa Cruz, ACLU/Santa Cruz, Santa 
 Cruz County Coalition for Overcoming Racism (partial list; list in 
 formation)\n\nFor more information about these screenings, call
