In the name of "securing" the borders, private militias like the Minuteman Project are calling on citizens to join armed patrols on the U.S.-Mexican border, where blockade-style border control policies have created a virtual war zone for more than a decade. Rights on the Line exposes the ugly anti-immigrant politics that lurk behind the Minuteman Project and similar vigilante groups. Shot by human rights activists and border residents, the video tells the story of border crossers and communities whose rights are being violated - and provides a close-up look at vigilantes through interviews and disturbing footage of their nighttime patrols.
