Powerful narrative of genocidal, government abuse and those leaving for the American dream. Film reminds you that not all grass is greener.
A super powerful, insightful movie, the run time is fully justified and fully worth your time
An authentic, thoughtful film about young couple fleeing to U.S. from Central America via Mexico after union organizer father is murdered.
40 years later and this gritty story barely seems to have aged. Warning: one sequence is not for claustro- or muso- -phobes.
One of the most heartbreaking films I’ve ever seen.
We get the point that life is hard for immigrants, but only because it's hammered in the dialogue, not because they made me FEEL it.
Great Film to really understand the struggles and reasons why many migrate to the US looking for a better life.
A grim and rather realistic story about siblings making the arduous trek to freedom by emigrating illegally to the US. Powerful and moving.
