Desire Lines by Lara Shipley, is a story of borders.

Here, the camera turns its eye on the sun-scorched desolation of the Sonoran Desert, between Arizona and Mexico, where one of the “hottest” frontiers of the United States is located: the focus of an increasingly polarized debate on application of the immigration laws.
