    Food for thought and fuel for action!

    As someone who has worked on the prevention of human trafficking for over a decade and has watched hundreds of films - there is no perfect movie on human trafficking, but Death on the Border captures so many important nuances of this crime against humanity - it has achieved what many have not - the ability to stoke a fire of anger at the blatant horror of exploitation, but also motivate to action which is what will bring this nightmare to end. Watch this movie and then do what moves your heart, support those getting victims safe, and those keeping more children from victimization. I highly recommend this movie for those interested in keeping children safe and to increase an understanding of this issue facing humanity today.

    Excellent movie

    Excellent, suspenseful movie, highly recommend anything by Wendy Wilkins! Great topic to create a movie about. I also really like the actors in this movie. I've always been a fan of Danny Trejo, Shannon Elizabeth did a great job too. It's based on a true story, so very raw. Sex trafficking needs to stop, so it's great that this story brought light to What's going on at the border. Having faith is also a good inspiring topic to bring in. I tend to avoid drama And violent movies because I prefer comedy and lighthearted stuff, but this one was very well done. Will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat.

    The movie was spot on! Loved it!

    Wanted to write this review after we saw this great movie. Wendy Wilkins truly depicted the struggles that can go on in our society! The actors really took over and became their characters 100%. It is well worth seeing. It is funny my family never agrees on liking something equally! But this movie we were all a captivated audience. Eric Roberts, Danny Trejo along with the rest of the cast nailed it! And, I think that was Wendy in a spectacular role creating the glue that cemented the entire movie. Without giving too much away there is a sequence and a true artifact that is stunning! Well worth it. Brian B.

    Very informative, accurate, interesting

    This movie was written and directed with a lot of passion. I feel like the filmmaker knows her stuff and overcame all odds to tell this story. It's also a lot of fun to see Danny Trejo play a priest rather than the heavy. I felt he brought a lot to the role and he is believable! I hope to see him in more roles like this. The locations are great and the photography is stunning. I personally love when filmmakers tell a story that they know about intimately and tell it from their heart. I hope that Wendy Wilkins gets more chances to tell her stories and hone her craft. It's still very tough for female filmmakers but there is a great need for their stories to be told.

    A powerful message, a must watch movie

    Based on true story & true experience that made the movie more real and heart wrenching but also gave a positive hope . It made everyone of us more aware of the seriousness of domestic violent and human trafficking - anyone can be a victim of it. The positive hope is that everyone can make a stand against it and be brave like the two ladies in the movie who stood up for what is right to protect the innocents and vulnerables.

    This is a must watch movie. Every single person can a difference, keep a lookout, take a stand to make the the world a better place.

    Thank you Wendy Wilkins, for creating a meaningful movie that focus on real world's problem!
