Unveiling the Truth: James O’Keefe’s Groundbreaking Film ‘Line in the Sand’ Premieres at Star-Studded Gala in Mar-a-Lago, Exposing the Dark Realities of America’s Border Crisis!

October 23rd, 2024

This exclusive invite-only event included a star-studded red carpet and the movie premiere at Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.

Line in the Sand takes viewers behind the scenes of the migrant industrial complex with never-before-seen footage from Mexican freight trains, cartel tunnels and U.S.-funded child detention centers. The film is presented in three acts, each exploring a different facet of the border crisis: the perilous journey of immigrants, the secretive transport of unaccompanied children, and the disturbing realities of a broken system in New York City.

The documentary is both daring and eye-opening, delivering a raw and unfiltered look at one of the most critical issues facing the U.S. today. While Line in the Sand is framed as a documentary, its dramatic narrative and surreal moments leave viewers questioning the reality of the crisis. Through irony, dark comedy, and high stakes, the film blurs the line between a political thriller and a hard-hitting investigative piece.
