Toronto, ON (November 8, 2008) - The world's longest undefended border is undefended no longer. In a post-9/11 world of terrorism, drug trafficking and abducted children, Immigration and Customs Security (ICS) is the elite task force that holds the line. The first thirteen episodes of
The Border are available on DVD from Video Service Corp on November 18, 2008 in a three disc set with a suggested retail price of $34.98.
With 10 Gemini nominations and an ensemble cast including James McGowan (
My Brother's Keeper) and Sofia Milos (
CSI: Miami and
The Sopranos),

London Free Press. The second season has recently begun airing on the CBC to strong ratings.
