OP-ID

The rise in migrant deaths at the South Texas Border has created a humanitarian crisis. The dead are buried as "unknowns" without proper analyses or DNA collection, leaving no hope of identification. Operation Identification is a team in San Marcos, Texas who dedicate their time to help identify and repatriate their remains to the families who are left behind. Each unidentified body found near the Texas-Mexico border is given a number for tracking purposes. OP-ID's mission is to turn those numbers into names. Using the style of Direct Cinema, we follow #0607 as his remains are exhumed and his journey for identification begins.
