Matt gainer, in his project Imperial, is trying to focus on
the American Southwest borderlands, while bringing together two contradictory
ideas; the old west meshed with modern illegal immigration. In a very striking
manner, he shows how modern Americans fighting against illegal immigration are
holding onto the ideals of the old west and the cowboy way where one could
argue there was no such thing as illegal when everyone did what was necessary
to survive regardless of morals.
Its further interesting how he captures the tiny town
Imperial. This impoverished community is where people from around the nation
find themselves struggling to survive.
