Synopsis
On August 18, 1971, Pat Nixon stood at the US-Mexico border to declare a section of land as “Friendship Park.” This event aimed to symbolize unity between the two nations. The documentary juxtaposes vibrant digitized color film from the Richard Nixon Presidential Library with musical and oral performances from the inauguration. It reflects on the gap between the hopeful vision of that day and the current realities faced at the border, questioning the promise made decades ago.
