100 Ways to Cross the Border
Directed by Amber Bemak (2021)

A daring, self-reflexive performative documentary on the extraordinary Mexican/Chicanx performance artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña’s 40-year career of radical artistic practice alongside his international troupe La Pocha Nostra. At a time when mainstream media is filled with demonizing stories about the US-Mexico border, the film presents the philosophical frameworks of an artist with a sustained dedication to highly impactful, innovative artistic interventions on the border, and presents a unique portrait of his beloved troupe La Pocha Nostra on the road for three years.
