Abstract
This essay explores the confluence of ecology, labor, and gender along the US-Mexico border as they are registered in two recent films from the Global South. This article explores ecological ideology through the representation of racialized and gendered labor in the maquiladora industry along the border. The article proposes an ecotone method of film analysis as a way to work in such a convergence of ecological, transnational, gendered, and technological modes of analysis. Through this dynamic approach, we argue that placing these films in conversation with one another, despite their formalistic differences, reveals the social conditions that enable and naturalize ecological devastation along the US/Mexico border.
