As U.S. Border Patrol expands its vast surveillance and deterrence apparatus along the U.S.-Mexico border, researchers race to develop new tools to track and identify the remains of missing migrants. Through striking vignettes and intimate testimonies from migrants and the people who study them, Abstract interrogates the promise and peril of science and identity in the Borderlands, unraveling a complex system of securitization, disappearance, and mourning in the most surveilled region of America.

Shot in an evocative mix of black-and-white and color, Abstract is a striking exploration of the scientific gaze and who controls it.

The film is currently in production.

The film has been selected to pitch at Edinburgh Pitch, Ji.hlava New Visions Forum, AIDC, and Big Sky.
