On the red carpet for James O’Keefe's film premiere
Tonight on The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra reports from LA at the world premiere of James O’Keefe's new film Line In The Sand.
Known for revolutionizing undercover journalism, O’Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, has a long history of shaking up the media landscape.
This time, through his new media venture, O'Keefe Media Group (OMG), he brings to light the often-overlooked human and political crisis at the southern U.S. border.
While Hollywood glitz wasn’t exactly the focus of the night, there was a noticeable red carpet flair — something rarely associated with conservative citizen journalism. This juxtaposition of glamour and grit provided an interesting setting for a film that tackles such heavy issues as human trafficking, drug smuggling and border security.

The film, which O’Keefe hopes will transcend political lines, features shocking firsthand accounts of border patrol agents, whistleblowers, and even hidden camera footage from cartel-controlled areas. It doesn't just expose the dire situation at the US southern border but also delves deep into the financial incentives that have sustained illegal immigration for decades.
The buzz around Line in the Sand reflects a growing trend of right-leaning documentaries making waves. In recent years, films like Matt Walsh's What is a Woman? have gained significant attention and even broken records at the box office. It seems we are witnessing a new era of conservative-oriented films, tackling topics that mainstream Hollywood often avoids.
Filmmaking is no longer exclusive to big studios or directors with major budgets. Anyone with a smartphone, camera, and the right platform can tell stories and reach a large audience. This democratization of media has paved the way for voices like O’Keefe’s to shine, as they use the internet and social media to distribute their work.

The film highlights alarming statistics and stories that are difficult to ignore. From missing children to skyrocketing fentanyl deaths, the consequences of an open-border policy are devastating. Viewers are left questioning the official narratives pushed by mainstream media and government officials.
A key theme of the night was the frustration surrounding media censorship and the feeling of being misled by official sources. As O'Keefe and his supporters pointed out, the mainstream media has often downplayed the severity of the border crisis, leaving many Americans unaware of the full scope of the problem. This film is an attempt to correct that imbalance.
