A movie is being filmed in the Rio Grande Valley called The Treacherous Border. The writer, producer and lead talent are all Valley natives.

One of the actors in the film is JT Campos, best known for his role as Boaz in the hit TV series Queen of the South. He stars in The Treacherous Border alongside Weslaco native, 16-year-old Brooklyn Love Dillard.

"It's a movie based on a woman crossing the border with her child and everything she had to face, all the child's tribulations, the treacherous craziness of what the border brings and there's a lot of human trafficking," Campos said.

Born and raised in Mission, Campos knows how human trafficking is a major issue in the Valley's border towns.

"It's intense and just realizing the visuals that we'll be bringing to life, it's a heavy film," Campos said.

Campos says it was important for him to play this role, because he wants to bring awareness to all the violence that happens in the Valley and hopefully be a part of the solution to stop it.

"I mean, when do we stop? When do we stop the crazy? When do we stop the madness? When do we stop the dark?" Campos said.

The movie is set to premiere sometime next year.
