In Episode 3—“Border Towns”—the SDCELAR team explores the lived realities of communities that straddle the US–Mexico border. From everyday life at checkpoints to shared marketplaces and traditions, this episode delves into how local residents grow roots and build cross-border identities despite shifting boundaries.
Through intimate interviews and on-the-ground perspective, listeners learn how families navigate dual citizenship, combined economies, and cultural fusion—highlighting that borders often define worlds, yet can’t stop connection.
🎧 Our Role
We conducted field recording in bustling border environments—capturing voice, traffic hum, market chatter, and distant trains. Our team coordinated cross-border interviews and created a nuanced mix in post-production, ensuring clarity while preserving the texture of the space.
✨ Why It Matters
“Border Towns” brings to life the lived geography of the borderlands and underlines their resilience. It shows how borders shape—and are shaped by—people, cultures, and shared everyday resilience.
