JustFaith Movie Night - Borderland: The Line Within
Thursday, February 12, 2026
6:00-8:30 p.m.
The JustFaith Social Justice Ministry at Holy Family invites you to join us for a viewing of the documentary Borderland: The Line Within.
The United States border is not just a geographic location. The border is everywhere. It lies within every undocumented immigrant family with the threat that at any moment they can be captured, incarcerated, deported, and their lives destroyed. Borderland: The Line Within not only exposes the profitable business of immigration and its human cost, but also weaves together the stories of immigrant heroines and heroes who resist and show a way forward, intent on building a movement in the shadow of the border industrial complex, recognizing the human rights of all.
We will gather to watch the film in the main conference room. Discussion and refreshments will follow the film. For additional information, please contact Andrea Melanson at ammelanson@aol.com or 860-614-8280.
This event is sponsored by the JustFaith Ministry of Holy Family. A free-will offering will be collected to support the Hartford Deportation Defense. No registration required, but we request you RSVP below so we can plan accordingly.
Why This Matters:
Human dignity is not conditional.
Borders shape lives, not just maps.
Profit should never outweigh people.
Stories change hearts.
Faith calls us to examine the “line within.”
Justice requires awareness and response.
Hope is possible.
