The Undocumented is a 90-minute documentary film, released in 2013, directed by Marco Williams, which investigates the causes and effects of migrant deaths along the Arizona-Mexico border.
It also follows U.S. Border Patrol, Search, Trauma and Rescue (BOSTAR) agents, who must balance law enforcement with lifesaving.
In Mexico, the film documents the reunification of the dead with their families and chronicles stories of loved ones who disappeared while crossing the border, never to be heard from again.
[2] The majority of migrant deaths occur in Arizona's Sonoran Desert, with 213 confirmed to have died in the Tucson sector alone in fiscal year 2009.
Post-production began in February 2010, with editor David Meneses and associate producer Thomas Peyton working alongside director Marco Williams.
