Beyond Borders | Ekansh Tambe | TEDxKids@SMU

Показать описание

In light of heated national debate on the topic of border security and immigration, Ekansh Tambe explored most of the 1900 miles of the US Mexico land border with his family and documented the reality of the border using photography. His journey then continued along five additional world borders. As a public speaker, he informs people about the borders by sharing his photographs and the inspiring and heartbreaking stories he heard. Ekansh is a sophomore at St. Mark's School of Texas and an avid adventurer. Ekansh Tambe’s photography chronicles the fence, the culture, and the people he encountered while on an eleven-day journey with his family along most of the 1,900 miles of the US-Mexican land border. As he listened to inspiring and heartbreaking stories, he got a sense of the border situation firsthand, hearing it from the people whose lives have been affected the most. As I listened, the impact the border has on citizens, residents, immigrants, and federal agents began to unfold.
