Description
Cast: Brandon López, Rodolfo Domínguez, Karen Martínez
A trio of Guatemalan teens traverse 1,200 miles through Mexico, often perched atop a lumbering freight train, to reach the promised land of the United States. The scenery is idyllic, but the journey, on both sides of the border, is treacherous. This humanistic and valuable portrait of the lengths undocumented immigrants go in search of a better life won nine Ariel Awards (the Mexican Oscar equivalent), including Best Film.
