The Line That Divides

NAFTA Trade Corridor

By Pamela Calore pamcalore

My current work specifically focuses on the movement of freight, following the truck route from Laredo, TX to Kansas City, MO and then beyond into Canada. The documentary work places the audience on the road with cheap commodities manufactured by multinational companies using slave labor. By shedding light on the NAFTA highway, I hope to expose the loss of American jobs to out-sourcing, environmental consequences such as the alterations of the land by building bigger ports , and an increase in the privatization of Mexican ports and United States highways.

About the Author

Pamela Calore

Statement The focus of my documentary work is my father Joseph Calore’s trucking company, Calore Freight System in the northeast. My research covers its beginnings, growth and ultimate demise from opposing factors, which include deregulation in the early seventies to disputes with the teamsters over pension funds, from the mid 1970s to the early 1980’s. The documentary project is my best effort to meld the childhood memories of growing up in the environment of trucks, and the workers of my fathers company who were union drivers. Having grown up within that culture my work has a strong documentary dimension and strives to highlight the importance of the working class in society today. My current focus is an investigation into the transportation industry along the NAFTA trade route. By using the mediums of collage, painting, video and installation, I hope to reflect working conditions verses capitalism in our society today.
