Border War: The Battle Over Illegal Immigration is a 2006 documentary film, written, produced and directed by Kevin Knoblock. The film tells the stories of five people whose lives have been affected by illegal immigration along the U.S.-Mexico border. They are J.D. Hayworth, a Republican congressman from Arizona, Teri March, widow of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy David March, who was murdered by an illegal immigrant in 2002, U.S. Border Patrol agent Jose Maheda, illegal immigrant sympathizer Enrique Morones, and Lupe Moreno, a female Hispanic member of the Minuteman Project.

The film was shown theatrically on approximately 20 screens in the US in September and October 2006. The DVD is being distributed by Genius Products, a video and DVD distributor majority owned by The Weinstein Company.

The Los Angeles Times said: "As rhetoric, "Border War" is scattershot and anecdotal, featuring an awful lot of talking but surprisingly little for a viewer to latch onto besides a transmitted sense of general anxiety and outrage, and an insistence that an unspecified "something" must be done to solve this "problem."[1]

Border War has won two awards at conservative film festivals: it was awarded Best Feature Film of 2006 at the Liberty Film Festival and was voted Best Documentary of 2006 by American Film Renaissance.
