INSPIRING EVENT

Real Housewives Shine at James O'Keefe's Premiere in Newport Beach

Newport Beach, October 8, 2024 – The world premiere of Line in the Sand, the highly anticipated debut film by investigative journalist James O’Keefe, lit up Newport Beach’s Regal Theater with an unforgettable night. The sold-out event welcomed a lineup of prominent guests, drawing together a star-studded audience eager to see O’Keefe’s unfiltered take on the U.S. border crisis.

James O’Keefe, known for his investigative zeal as founder of O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), was joined by influential figures, such as Tim Ballard of Operation Underground Railroad and U.S. whistleblower Tara Rodas, who have actively tackled border and human trafficking issues. The red carpet glistened with Hollywood personalities, including Elizabeth Vargas, Taylor Armstrong, and Kelly Dodd from Real Housewives, as well as Jacob Busch, actress Isabella Blake Thomas, and Congressmember George Santos.

Through exclusive, undercover footage from cartel-run tunnels, freight trains in Mexico, and U.S.-funded detention centers, Line in the Sand explores the human cost of the ongoing migrant crisis. The film’s release, set to debut on the Tucker Carlson Network on October 10, 2024, presents an unflinching view, divided into three powerful acts: the journey of migrants through perilous territory, the troubling reality of unaccompanied child transport, and the failures of New York’s immigration system. By merging dark humor, surrealism, and investigative journalism, O’Keefe’s work blurs the boundaries between documentary and political thriller, creating a uniquely impactful experience.

While Éclair Magazine was invited to cover the event, it was reported remotely due to scheduling conflicts, allowing the publication to share insights from afar. Despite not being physically present, Éclair brought readers behind the scenes of this compelling premiere, capturing the vibrant atmosphere of an evening that promises to keep Line in the Sand at the center of national conversation.
