Skirball hosts ‘Border’ fundraiser
Talk-show hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou of KFI-AM (640) will host a screening of the documentary “Border†on Tuesday as a fundraising event for imprisoned former U.S. Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Joseph Compean.
The men were convicted in 2006 of a variety of charges stemming from firing shots at a suspected drug smuggler on the Mexican border.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion about immigration policies with Mexico, featuring “Border†filmmaker Chris Burgard; T.J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council; and others.
The event begins at 8 p.m. at the Skirball Cultural Center, 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd., L.A. Tickets are $25.
