Borderless

Southern has a tremendous achievement with her second major documentary. If anyone can watch this documentary without being perched on the edge of their seat, they should be declared legally dead.

Southern gets out of the way of the story unfolding, and lets despairing refugees, human traffickers, and corrupt executives tell the tale in their own words. Whatever your best or worst intentions, the places that Borderless takes you will surprise you.

As a long-standing critic of Southern and the provocatively conservative viewpoints with which she was long aligned, I anticipated a bent and biased narrative, intertwined with a few disturbing facts to keep things grounded. I was wrong.

Borderless takes a compassionate but realistic look at what can only be described as a crisis forming at the edges of the Western world. Any argument that we're currently engaged in the most humane solution is crippled by the experiences of Turks, Gambians, Afghans, and many, many more.

If you don't let yourself see the truth of a sad and violent world that Borderless exposes, you're doing yourself a true disservice.

Watch it, and let the truth speak for itself.

A very insightful documentary. This is a must see, in this day and age its hard to find actual investigative journalist of this caliber.

If you really want to know what is happening in Europe this is a must watch. Free from political dogma it delves into the tragedy playing itself out on the shores of the Mediterranean. It is a story of abused people and the exploiters making money out of it. And it is not a story - it is factual!

"Borderless" is a fair and compelling treatment of the migrant crisis in Europe and its aftermath. Lauren Southern's documentary presents the migrants point of view along with the views of those that are effected by the crisis. The film crew shot this evenly paced throughout and with a professional quality similar to what would be expected from a multi-million dollar documentary. She makes the subject and the people effected by the crisis the focus of the documentary instead of herself, unlike many contemporary documentary filmmakers who make themselves the main focus of their films. I recommend this film to anyone who wants to understand this issue from more than one perspective or ideological point of view. Professional independent journalism at its best. I would also recommend her other documentary "Farmlands" in addition to this one.

In my opinion, this is what journalism is all about. Comprehensive, seeking whatever might be the truth. Truly well done.
