Dying to Live: A Migrant's Journey, Groody River
Films.
"Who
are these people, and why are they risking their lives to enter
the United States?" the narrator of this documentary asks. In
seeking to answer that question, the film provides both a look
at the human face of the Mexican immigrant, including scenes of
the harrowing journey migrants undertake to cross the U.S. border,
and a discussion of the social, economic, political and religious
issues involved.
The 33-minute film, along with bonus material, was scripted and
produced by Father Daniel Groody, CSC, '86, assistant professor
of theology at Notre Dame, and his cousin, Bill Groody, who has
worked in radio and television production.
