[Migrantjusticedocumentary] needing help figuring out a movie title

[Catherine Kendler]

TO BE DETERMINED or not, sooner or later we will need a title! So I'm
attempting to bring this thread back to life. I think it was a good idea to
start a cyberbrainstorm. Even if you don't feel like you have something
usable, just sending an email with some keywords can help get the rest of
us thinking!

One keyword I was thinking of is 'barriers' since the word is repeated a
few times in the video and speaks to barriers to access, to happiness and
freedom, etc. as well as the idea of borders as physical barriers. Maybe
something along the lines of
*Building Barriers, Breaking Down Barriers... Barriers to ???*
Also thought of *Behind Borders* as in the other side of the story about
what borders really are and also kind of sounds like "behind bars". In
Spanish could be *Tras las fronteras* which similarly kind of sounds like
"tras las rejas" (behind bars)...
