Denver, CO--Regis University is pleased to announce a unique and rare display of photographs showing both sides of the immigration conflict. The Border Film Project features a collection of photos taken by undocumented migrants trying to cross the Mexican border into the United States, and by the American minutemen trying to stop them.

The exhibit will be on display for the month of September in the Doyle and Margaret Hartman Exhibit Gallery on the second floor of the Dayton Memorial Library, at Regis University's Lowell campus.

Regis University invites the local community to take advantage of the exhibit's only visit to Colorado. Sandra Mitchell, associate to the provost for diversity, arranged for the exhibit to be displayed on campus.

"It is our hope to show the community both sides of the immigration conflict through the eyes of those living it. It is interesting to see the similarities that both sides share," says Mitchell.

The exhibit was put together by the Border Film Project, three college friends with a passion for the immigration dilemma in common. More than 600 disposable cameras were sent to undocumented migrants crossing the desert and the American minutemen protecting our borders. The hope was to find a way of reaching a more personal, human understanding of the illegal immigration issue.

Exhibit hours are Sunday, 12:30 p.m. to midnight; Monday-Thursday 7:30 a.m. to midnight and Friday and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

For more information, contact Mitchell at (303) 964-5304. To learn more about the Border Film Project visit, www.borderfilmproject.com.

Kristen Blessman is the associated director of media relations for Regis University.
