US border patrol footage needed for documentary

riverpixel 12 May 2010 13:41
I'm looking for footage of US Border Patrol including any vehicles out on patrol around the US-Mexico border. I am especially interested in any BP agents inspecting trains or railcars. Any footage of agents chasing, looking for, or arresting/detaining illegal immigrants is ideal. This is for the documentary Train To Nowhere - Inside an Immigrant Death Investigation being produced by Storytellers International. See www.TrainToNowhereFilm.com.

Looks like an interesting film. I liked the trailer.

I don't have any border patrol shots but I do have some b-roll from the US/Mexican boarder including the Rio Grande where it divides the border with Texas.
You can see what I have here.

Good luck with your film,

If I get a chance this weekend I will get some for you. I live in Tucson and the border thing is a hot issue around here. Any particular shots you would like to have?

Maaaan I was being chased by the border patrol just a week ago, seriously. They stopped me three times, I didnt think to video tape them. I was in Tucson too.

vadervideo - look for detention centers. They look like this. They have this peculiar curved 15 feet tall fences and grey buildings with no windows. They don't like to be filmed. Take your passport. You look European (from Paris the spy capital of the world) or you may end-up at the other side of the fence. Your from Tucson!. Why don't you wear a cowboy hat like Jake? This video is low quatlity. It's pending approval. It was shot in 2005 with a Sony HC1000 3ccd cam from a moving car in an area patrolled by Federal Marshalls and in front of a spook installation. We believe this area has at least 2 underground levels. You can tell by the bunker and its top ventilation system.

Shot this last week - I was not surprised and actually makes for a great sound byte:

I could make a run down to the Tijuana border - about 2 hours away. How does this work? Would we negotiate and submit directly to you, or does it go through Pond5?

Hmm... Seems the original poster disapeared.
But I would go through Pond5.
