I saw this movie at the Newport Beach Film Festival. It focuses on the plight of Central American immigrants trying to make their way through Mexico to the United States. This fact alone offers something significant, immigration extends well beyond US/Mexican border, which is a fact often overlooked in the conversation regarding immigration in the United States.
The film explores the stories of several immigrants. It probes the many challenges: transportation, gangs, corruption, family ties, health issues, and more. Just when you are at the breaking point of despair it also shows compassion.
The most poignant moments for me were our glimpses into "Atras" or behind, where the remainder of families stay.
I recommend this film for anyone interested in learning more about the human side of immigration.
