With director Ben Masters and members of the Fin and Fur production team behind THE RIVER AND THE WALL, DEEP IN THE HEART, and THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST.

BORDERLANDS JAGUAR is a thrilling 52-minute documentary following wildlife cinematographers Austin Alvarado and Ben Masters on a quest to document the elusive species and show the importance of conserving wildlife corridors along the US-Mexico border. The stakes could not be higher. A rapidly expanding border wall has been constructed on three out of every four miles in Arizona, New Mexico, and California, threatening to sever the potential for the jaguar’s return to the United States and halt the flow of wildlife at a continental scale. To achieve their mission, Austin and Ben seek the help of a legendary Arizona houndsman, a jaguar hunter turned conservationist, and researchers at the Northern Jaguar Project in Sonora, Mexico. They discover the matriarch of the reserve, Libélula, a twelve-year-old jaguar whose cubs could potentially migrate to the United States. For eight months, they film Libélula with the dream that her story can help stop further construction of a border wall and inspire increased conservation efforts in the wild, wonderful, shared ecosystem of the US-Mexico borderlands.
