The University of Notre Dame presents "Dying to Live: A Migrant's Journey"

Immigration is a complex issue that is changing the face of cultures worldwide. In the United States, it is often a controversial issue with many social, economic, political and even religious implications. In the midst of the debate, what often gets lost are the human issues at stake.

"Dying to Live" is a profound look at the human face of the immigrant. It explores who these people are, why they leave their homes and what they face in their journey. Drawing on the insights of Pulitzer Prize winning photographers, theologians, Church and congressional leaders, activists, musicians and the immigrants themselves, this film exposes the places of conflict, pain and hope along the US-Mexico border. It is a reflection on the human struggle for a more dignified life and the search to find God in the midst of that struggle.

This documentary has been an eye opening for me. It has allow me to see things I was not aware of. It has humble my heart and has given me the opportunity to share with others. I believe that god has given us a second chance and we ough to treat others as we would like to be treated. May God open minds and hearts so we can do his will.
