Jesus Was A Migrant is a new documentary that follows author and historian, Dr. Jemar Tisby, to the U.S.-Mexico border to ask the question many have avoided: What does our faith actually require of us when it comes to migrants and asylum seekers? At the border, Tisby sits with ministers, doctors, laborers, and families who have lost everything except their faith. What he finds raises a question that cuts to the core of American Christianity: how did a religion born among the poor, the foreign-born, and the displaced become the spiritual backbone of a movement that closes its doors to them?
