New story collection shows what life is like for young girls on the border

latinitasIn April, Fine Line Films traveled to El Paso, Texas to work with Las Latinitas, an organization that empowers young Latinas through media and technology. The girls stories reveal, in a personal way, the challenges that young people face growing up on the U.S./Mexico border.  These girls are inspiring, brave, and creative, and it was gratifying to hear them respond to Life on the Line — one girl said, “this movie is like my life.”  See the girls’ stories in our LifeLines story collection, and a gallery of behind the scenes images of our budding photojournalists from the workshop.
