Esker Foundation provides free public programming to encourage participation and to increase accessibility to contemporary art. The film series is curated in response to, and in tandem with our current exhibitions.

In October 2006, the U.S. government decided to build a 700-mile fence along its troubled 2000-mile-plus border with Mexico. Three years, 19 construction companies, 350 engineers, thousands of construction workers, tens of thousands of tons of metal and $3 billion later, was it all worth it? The Fence (La Barda) investigates the impact of the project, revealing how its stated goals – containing illegal immigration, cracking down on drug trafficking and protecting America from terrorists – have given way to unforeseen consequences.

Dir. Rory Kennedy, 2010, 36 mins.
Registration essential.
