Karl W Hoffman Documentary Film Producer- THE UNTOLD TRUTH ABOUT THE AMERICAN-MEXICAN BORDER

Karl W Hoffman Documentary Film Producer- THE UNTOLD TRUTH ABOUT THE AMERICAN-MEXICAN BORDER

Well my film is here for all to view. After achieving international recognition, I was finally OKd to upload my feature length documentary (96min) to youtube, for the world to view on line. Of course it only took 6 years to produce and 48 hours to upload. I decided to premier it on line in my blog at the Tucson Citizen, but there is a link at the bottom of my blog to go direct to youtube. That’s one chapter of my life complete, now back to the gallery and the world of fine art.

Karl W Hoffman- LIVING ON THE BORDER Shows in Paris

Karl W Hoffman- LIVING ON THE BORDER Shows in Paris

“Living on the Border” Shows at International Border and Immigration Conference in Paris

Every developed country that borders or can be accessed by a 3rd world country has a critical border security and immigration problem. Many european countries are facing the same issues.

Interesting enough, a known fact in the film business, is that objective documentaries don’t go too far. Without courting one side or the other while riling up the opposite view, a good objective presentation just doesn’t get the attention here as it does internationally. I guess the American public is so used to being entertained, that major media just has to sensationalize story segments slanted toward the particular viewpoint of their viewers. No thought process is required with this agenda so compassion fades and the gap widens.

I am honored to be a guest speaker and take part in this international exchange of ideas. It is very important to present an objective insight to the border and immigration debacle from here in Southern Arizona. I look forward to bringing new ideas and possibilities back to my documentary series and opening new discussions here at my Tucson Citizen blog.

Thanks to all the wonderful people, organizations, and government agencies, who have showed such great support and encouragement for the “Living on the Border” documentary series.

I do owe a special thanks to my wife Audrey for all her support and understanding of the importance of this project so as of now she is my official assistant and will have to accompany me to Paris.

Karl W. Hoffman Documentary Film Producer- TUCSON FAMILY SPLIT APART AS FATHER FACES DEPORTATION

Tucson Family Split Apart as Father Faces Deportation
mCommunity rallies to stop the deportation of Tucson man

Unless we act now, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will tear
Alfonso Morales-Macias away from his wife and two children.

If he is deported to a violent country with a collapsing government there is little chance of ever gaining legal status in his lifetime. His family will lose a valuable asset to their income and could possibly end up on welfare. The trauma to the children is devastating and will scar them for life.

Karl W. Hoffman & Christian Rodriquez- THE KINO BORDER INITIATIVE, Two Filmmakers 7.5 minutes 8 days

      Two filmmakers 7.5 minutes 8 days   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOmcDprI4IQ   Karl W Hoffman is internationally recognized for his extensive photographic work on the US/Mexico border, his lectures and his newly released feature length film “Living on the Border.” “There is a 30 year age difference between us, but a magical phenomenon happened through this friendship, both spiritually and technically. We are both bringing our work to a higher level.”  

      Christian Rodriguez is a talented young filmmaker with an extensive technical and artistic background. The son of a documented migrant mother, he was born Los Angles and raised in Northern California, in the heart of agricultural industry, this has given him a compassionate insight to the Hispanic community.  Christian is currently working on his own feature length documentary “Citizen Me: The Forgotten Class.”  

       Two Artists come together in Southern Arizona, on the US/Mexico Border for 8 days to work on a very special 7.5-minute short documentary. Honing their skills and combining their diverse cultural backgrounds they straddle the border and bring together a heartwarming view of  “The Kino Border Initiative”, people helping people through their darkest moment. This a place that the main stream media has continually sensationalized and exploited, but here, there are good people putting aside political agendas and offering multicultural camaraderie while giving a simple meal and spiritual support to innocent people caught in the world wind of collateral damage in the border debacle.
