description | The article recovers the narrative of the film Undocumented (Peckover, 2010) to study the violence against the migrants on the northern border (Mexico-United States). It intersects the context of the construction of migratory policies that spread a xenophobic and racist environment on the border. The analysis of Undocumented —under the premise that the film starts with this socio-political reality— models an anti-racist criticism against the criminalization of the migrant. Also, it shows that the legislative design itself promotes the climate of racism and produces structural and poststructural violence against migrants. It connects this reality with its filmic representation based on the Arizona Law or SB1070, whose origin and foundation contravenes the international discourse of human rights. |

It intersects the context of the construction of migratory policies that spread a xenophobic and racist environment on the border. The analysis of Undocumented —under the premise that the film starts with this socio-political reality— models an anti-racist criticism against the criminalization of the migrant.

El artículo recupera la narrativa del filme Undocumented (Peckover, 2010) para estudiar la violencia hacia los migrantes en la frontera norte (México-Estados Unidos). Entrecruza el contexto de construcción de las políticas migratorias que diseminan un ambiente xenófobo y racista en la frontera. El análisis de Undocumented —bajo la premisa de que el filme parte de esta realidad sociopolítica— modela su crítica antirracista contra la criminalización del indocumentado. Muestra, además, que el propio diseño legislativo promueve el clima de racismo y produce la violencia de tipo estructural y postestructural contra los migrantes. Conecta esta realidad con su representación fílmica a partir de la Ley Arizona o SB1070, cuyo origen y fundamentación contraviene el discurso internacional de los derechos humanos.
