Border Film Project

Here's a great website sent in by Olisa:

Border Film Project is an art collaborative that distributed 400+
disposable cameras to two groups on different sides of the U.S.-Mexico
border - undocumented migrants crossing the desert and American
Minutemen trying to stop them.

The photographs have now been published in a book and on their
website.

It reminds me of something I mentioned in the old blog about homeless kids in Guatemala that were given disposable cameras and told to document their lives. Well, they came back with a ton of great pictures, but a lot of the kids were robbed or harassed, as people thought they had stolen the cameras.
