    Abstract

    The Mexican-Amencan border has been described by Mexican filmmaker Maria Novaro as 'una herida que no dcatrit^d ('a wound diat never heals'.' Novaro's metaphor is especially apt, for it points to both the physical and psychological aspects of the hardships involved in crossing the border.
