Documentary on Border Patrol Excessive Force

“Please!  Señores, help me!”
 
These haunting words were cried by Anastasio Hernández-Rojas as over a dozen Border Patrol agents beat him. Mr. Hernández-Rojas later died at the hospital. 
 
PBS is airing newly recovered video of the incident in a documentary tonight, Friday April 20.

The documentary, “First Look: Crossing the Line” investigates whether U.S. border agents have been using excessive force in an effort to curb undocumented migration. In a rush to secure the border, are agents being adequately trained, monitored, and held accountable for their actions?
