Operation Burning Edge Trailer for 17 Miles (Movie and Docuseries)

The world is awash with information and finding the truth can often feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. That's why we are thrilled to bring you Operation Burning Edge, an innovative investigative series led by the acclaimed journalist Ann Vandersteel.

Operation Burning Edge shifts its focus to uncovering hidden truths and bringing transparency to critical societal issues. Ann Vandersteel is leading the effort to explain and uncover the dire situation happening at our border by interviewing experts in the field. This series aims to help viewers understand what we need to do as a nation to recover before the rapid decline accelerates and we are left with nothing.

What is the border crisis?
Illegal immigration has always been a challenge. The border crisis is a complex issue that is occurring at our borders, particularly at the southern border with Mexico. The influx of undocumented individuals makes it difficult to thoroughly vet everyone, posing potential security risks – not just for your family, but for the whole country.

Should you be in the know? How does this affect you?
During this streaming event, we will cover a range of pressing issues including high levels of illegal immigration, human trafficking, and drug smuggling. We will also discuss the challenges posed by asylum seekers overwhelming our border facilities. Expert discussions, testimonials from guests who have been informed and inspired by investigative journalism efforts, and case studies of successful accountability and change prompted by investigative journalism will be featured.
