N2 - In this chapter I focus on a specific social issue – migration from Central America and Mexico to the USA – and the texts that engage with this. My main case study is the activist project behind the film Who is Dayani Cristal? (Marc Silver, 2013), and I argue that both the film and the project are salient examples of an emerging new paradigm for the human rights documentary. In addition to the usual paratextual components of interviews with the filmmakers, focus on the star body (in this case that of Gael García Bernal), promotional material and DVD extras, this is a film that broadens the scope of additional material to contain extratextual activist, educational and community work, to the point that it destabilizes the distinctions between core and surrounding texts.
