Santa Monica, CA. – The volatile issue of illegal immigration and the continued conflict taking place at the U.S.–Mexico border are brought to life in the upcoming documentary BORDER WAR. Led by David Bossie, President of Citizens United, director Kevin Knoblock, takes viewers into the smuggling tunnels of Nogales, Arizona, to the migrant halfway houses for deportees in Tijuana, Mexico as well as the Congressional corridors of power in the nation’s capitol. “We made Border War because the United States is facing an extraordinary illegal immigration crisis - but our solutions have done little to alleviate the situation. I hope that Border War illustrates how crucial it is to understand that we cannot look away or walk away from a problem that so effects our country's future” said director Kevin Knoblock. Congress will renew debate over immigration reform policy in September, and hopes to reach agreement on a bill that would overhaul America’s immigration legislation for the first time in twenty years.

A limited theatrical run will begin in Los Angeles on August 31st, expanding into major cities nationwide including Phoenix, San Diego, Washington, Seattle, San Francisco, Dallas, and Houston throughout September. BORDER WAR debuting on DVD October 10, 2006 from Genius Products Inc. (OTCBB: GNPI), will have a suggested retail price of $19.95 and will prebook on August 29, 2006.

“We wanted to explore this domestic issue by allowing those on the front lines of immigration policy to speak. We thought it was important to hear directly from undocumented workers and their advocates, a high-profile member of Congress, the victims of border violence, open border advocates, Hispanic-Americans supportive of greater border control, and U.S. Border Patrol agents. All of these voices combined make a true and compelling story,” said producer David N. Bossie.

SYNOPSIS: BORDER WAR The human and drug trafficking across the border between the United States and Mexico border has been called the illegal immigration invasion. Dangers and concerns are escalating on both sides of this issue, and Border War documents the lives of five individuals affected by the massive rise in illegal immigration - primarily via the porous US southern border with Mexico.

Viewers are exposed to this massive problem through the eyes of those involved firsthand and will be compelled to think about this problem on a different scale. There are no easy answers, the compelling stories and incredible visuals of Border War will leave viewers demanding answers; the safety, stable economy and way of life for US citizens depends on it.
