• Tony Paniagua visits The Gadsden Hotel in Douglas, Arizona. It is a historic property near the border with Mexico, and the owners are coping with current limitations on tourism and travel as best they can.

The Gadsden Hotel is a famous landmark in Douglas, Arizona. It is located a few blocks from the border with Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico.

The Gadsden Hotel has been attracting business people, tourists, movie producers and many others for decades.

Anel Lopez and her husband bought the historic hotel in 2016.

• And, Mark talks with filmmaker Genevieve Anderson. She wrote and directed DUSTWUN, a drama about a veteran struggling with post-traumatic stress who takes it upon himself to build a wall on the U.S. / Mexico border. This mission is tested when he has to choose between a migrant woman in need of help, and a pair of Border Patrol agents with different interpretations of the law. There will be an online watch party for DUSTWUN, that is also a benefit to help organizations doing humanitarian work on the U.S. / Mexico border. It happens worldwide on Thursday, May 14th, 2020 on the Latin Heat Cinema streaming platform.
