In the summer of 2018 a group of outraged grandparents from Beacon, NY took a road trip to McAllen, TX to protest the policy of separating migrant families at the US-Mexican border.

From Beacon To The Border documents the Grannie’s journey from NY to Texas, and the growth of the Grannies Respond Movement into a nationwide network of hundreds of grandparents who assist immigrants and refugees on their journey to host families across the country. 

Directed by Andrea DeGeorge Garbarini
