About
USA v. Scott
In the unforgiving Sonoran Desert, a humanitarian's act of kindness becomes a criminal offense, sparking a fierce moral debate in a small Arizona border town. This gripping documentary thrusts us into the heart of a modern dilemma, where offering water to desperate migrants could mean up to 20 years in prison. As the trial approaches, the film explores a community torn between compassion and fear, grappling with the consequences of their long-standing traditions of aid. Through intimate portraits of community members and stark desert landscapes, we're confronted with the human cost of border policies. As the story unfolds, we're forced to examine our own beliefs and values, questioning what it means to be humane in a world where compassion itself can be criminalized.
