Running to Stand Still- Migrants Search For Hope In The Promised Land is a 25-minute documentary film that focuses on the fraught and divisive issue of forced migrants seeking safety and asylum at the U.S./Mexico border. Running seeks to put a human face on the realities of immigration today by telling stories from migrants themselves: courageous, dignified human beings whose lives stand as a powerful rebuke to a narrative often rife with alarmist rhetoric, dehumanizing stereotypes. Released in November, 2024, the premise of Running To Stand Still is that the true corridors of power are the ones ordinary Americans walk during the course of their everyday lives. In their homes. In classrooms and on college campuses. On Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram. In churches, temples, and mosques. At town hall meetings. In the newspapers, and on radio and television. These millions of Americans are the “influencers,” the policy makers, the custodians of our future; and it is these Americans, in all their cultural, social, political, and economic diversity, that Running To Stand Still intends to reach.
