In the Arizona desert by the Mexican border, the US simulates war and bombs fake Middle Eastern villages. Meanwhile, Border Patrol checkpoints push migrants walking across the border into these and other dangerous areas ‒ and a group of volunteers from San Diego comb the desert monthly, seeking missing family members, friends, and strangers.
