Which Way Home?
Which Way Home? is the Academy-Award nominated film by Rebecca Cammisa documenting true stories of some of the migrant children who make the perilous journey unaccompanied from Central America through Mexico to try to reach the United States, seeking to re-unite with their parents or simply to find a better life. These stories illustrate how U.S. immigration and border enforcement policies affect families thousands of miles away who have no recourse but to migrate without documents so as to find opportunities for work.

From edstrom
This is a new documentary concerning immigration into the United States through Mexico via railroad trains.
I haven't seen it myself, and so can't recommend it. It was just released March 8, 2011. Its mostly in Spanish.
Here are two English and one Spanish trailers from the film. The home page for the film is: here.

Cuéntame: CBS Must Keep Exposing U.S. Gunrunning In Mexico
From edstrom
I came across this interesting site, Cuéntame by chance today, drawn by an article about how CBS should continue reporting on what may be complicity on the part of US ATF agents in illegal gun running into Mexico. This is important and relevant for the obvious reasons, but also with respect to mistaken presumption that problems in Mexico driving emigration are Mexico's problems and not ours (e.g. this strategizing on the Feb 18 LET in the News Times: http://tinyurl.com/4p2v7sb).
The cited video on Facebook.com is here: http://tinyurl.com/45e7kfb

RNN: Why Do Mexican Workers Head North?
This is from the Real News Network (RNN).
UPDATE [ Dec 20, 2010]: RNN added the second progam in this series today.
Despite the eerie resemblance to the old conundrum, why did the chicken cross the road, this is not a joke. It is a reasonably full but succinct discussion of the fallout (blow back?) from our neoliberal trade policies, with particular focus on its impact on the Mexico and the consequent increase in undocumented immigration from Mexico and points South into the US.
There's probably not much here you don't already know, but this is a useful resource to point at in trying to explain things to other people.
