“It turns out the Arizona desert is full of migrant camps like this one. … It’s sad and a little spooky, all these traces of people in transit,” lamented Brown onscreen. “Like the whole desert is full of missing persons.”

“When the camera panned over remnants of a makeshift camp for migrants, a Purdue University audience grew quiet Monday night.

Torn clothing, mismatched shoes, baseball caps and several plastic bottles and jugs of water littered the barren Arizona desert. It was a compelling scene from The Other Side, a 43-minute documentary film by Texas-based filmmaker Bill Brown.”
