“Witness at Tornillo” is the origin story of the Witness Movement. The film features, Joshua Rubin, a man from Brooklyn who sits alone in the Texas desert, morally compelled to witness the injustice of family separation and child detention. His goal is to shut down an American internment camp and free 2,800 migrant children kept against their will. Witness at Tornillo highlights individual perseverance against continued injustice in the borderlands.

Through the “subversive act of seeing,” Rubin encourages those involved in running the Tornillo child detention facility to look back at themselves and examine their personal actions and ethics.

Now that Witness at Tornillo is available online, a portion of the proceeds will fund our continued coverage of Central American asylum-seekers and the Migrant Protection Protocols, MPP, for the film’s sequel, “Witness at the Border.”

We invite you to donate to this project to help our nonprofit documentary team bring this film to theaters as quickly as possible.
