"Running To Stand Still – Migrants Search For Hope In The Promised Land," is a documentary film about the humanitarian crisis on the U.S. / Mexico border. "Running" seeks to put a human face on the immigration “issue” by telling heartbreaking and inspiring stories about the migrants themselves—courageous and dignified human beings whose lives stand as a powerful rebuke to a narrative that is fraught with hatred, alarmist rhetoric, and dehumanizing stereotypes.

"Running To Stand Still" is intended to stimulate a thoughtful, non-hysterical conversation among Americans from all walks of life as to what it truly means to be a “nation of immigrants” at this point in our nation’s history. As such, the film will stress the importance of electing people to political office who understand their role in shaping the character of our democracy for years to come.

The premise of "Running" is that the true corridors of power are the ones ordinary Americans walk during the course of their everyday lives… In their homes. In classrooms and on college campuses. On Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram. In churches, temples, and mosques. At town hall meetings. In the newspapers, and on radio and television. These millions of Americans are the “influencers,” the policy makers, the custodians of our future; and it is these Americans, in all their cultural, social, political, and economic diversity, that "Running To Stand Still" intends to reach.

"Running To Stand Still" is the much-anticipated follow-up to our 2021 film, "Oh Mercy – Searching for Hope in the Promised Land."
