The Wall Coming to Holland, Michigan!

The Wall is playing two separate showings in Holland, Michigan!
Showing September 12th and 13th at the Knickerbocker Theatre.
The film plays Saturday at 6:30 PM and Sunday at 1:30 PM. Provided courtesy of Tulipanes Latino Art and Film Festival, we've brought you a special presentation of the film FOR FREE.
Tulipanes has arranged to host the filmmakers for a Q & A session afterward! We hope to engage audiences in this beautiful town two hours from Chicago and Detroit, right outside of Grand Rapids.

Check out our first bit of teaser press from the Holland Sentinel:

One of the films being shown on Saturday and Sunday is “The Wall,” by filmmaker Ricardo Martinez of New York City.
The documentary was filmed over three years and follows the implementation of the fence along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Martinez wants to show the documentary to people who have never been to the border. He hopes the film will start a dialogue about building a U.S.-Mexico border fence.

State Rep. Aaron Pena Reviews The Wall!

Just caught this review by State Rep. Aaron Pena! He was a great guy, had no idea he wrote this until now.

"I recommend it to all taxpayers"

The director of the movie, "The Wall", Ricardo A. Martinez, was surprised by the full house reception by so many from the Valley to his "small budget" documentary about the border wall. I greeted him and complimented him on his work. I was pleasantly surprised by the humble nature of Mr. Martinez and was struck at how grateful he was that a public official attended his premiere.
I told him that the honor was mine and that he was doing a great service to all our constituents on the border (and for that matter all Americans) for exposing the misguided and wasteful structure that these difficult times and shortsighted politicians have saddled us with.

I make these statements as a "law and order" moderate/conservative who has spoken out against the rise of drugs and drug violence along the border - long before it was fashionable to do so. After any reasonable cost-benefit analysis of this issue makes it is readily apparent that the costs far outweigh the benefits when it comes to the wall's construction and maintenance. Lastly the wall fails to address the fundamental issues causing our country's immigration problem.
