Running To Stand Still is a documentary film about the humanitarian crisis on the U.S. / Mexico border. Running seeks to put a human face on the U.S. immigration "issue" by telling heartbreaking and inspiring stories about the migrants, and from the migrants themselves.
“It is not easy to capture the depth of adversity, hope, resilience and humanity in the everyday stories of migration and humanitarian compassion at the US-Mexico border. But it is urgent and necessary. Running To Stand Still expertly weaves together the stories of those who risk everything to journey to the border and a community working to welcome them. Their sensitive and heartfelt portrayal of humanity at the border offers a powerful counter-narrative to the forces of hate and exclusion driving the national debate around migration.
These are stories that need to be told.”
