Abstract
Charles D. Thompson, Jr., ties his experience working with immigrant laborers to border crossings and the interdependency of agricultural workers and economies.This piece stems from Thompson’s multi-media project that includes his 2015 University of Texas publication Border Odyssey: Travels along the U.S./Mexico Divide and the companion website, borderdodyssey.com. The documentary video featured here, Faces of Time, highlights one chapter of Thompson’s travels along the border—specifically his work with braceros whom he found in a park in the middle of Ciudad Juarez demanding their purloined retirement benefits.
