James O’Keefe’s Debuts Film, Line in the Sand, at Mar-a-Lago
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. Celebrities in attendance that came to show support were James O’Keefe, Tim Ballard, Farrah Abraham, Tito Ortiz, Amber Nichole Ortiz, Marla Maples, Joy Villa, Colby Covington, Jimmy Levy, Sam Sorbo, Bri Teresi, Chuck Zito, Alina Habba, Chad Wolf, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Paul Hutchinson and many more. With heightened security and beautiful catering throughout the grounds, the celebration was a success. The film delivered a raw, eye-opening exposé of the U.S. border crisis, with never-before-seen undercover footage.
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.
“A First-Hand Look at the Front Lines”
O’Keefe, who has built his career exposing corruption, takes his journalistic approach to new heights in Line in the Sand. Equipped with cameras and a fearless pursuit of truth, O’Keefe documents the dangerous realities that mainstream media often ignore. From cartel-controlled tunnels to U.S.-funded child camps, this film reveals the human cost of an unchecked system. For more information, visit www.LineInTheSandMovie.com.
*Line In the Sand is available as an exclusive limited release on The Tucker Carlson Network (TCN).

Luli Fama Launches Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Swimwear Collection in Miami
Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
