    People of the Crossing is a multi-layered portrait of a Texas Jewish community on the border with Mexico and told through family stories relating the history, culture, and customs of this important gateway between continents, people, and languages. It's narrative includes El Paso's early history as a rough and tumble town before Jewish merchants and politicians helped make it a viable place for commerce and civic life. Descendants of Jewish pioneers and community and spiritual leaders share their stories about the unique aspect of Jewish El Paso and the multicultural and multilingual nature of its Jewish congregations. History photographs and film footage richly illustrate the testimonials, along with compelling cinematography (from land and air) that highlights the city's geographic location at the foot of the Franklin Mountains and on the banks of the Rio Grande.
