Director Juan Manuel Sepúlveda explores the criminalization, persecution, and grueling hardships experienced by countless South Americans attempting to cross from Mexico into the United States in this documentary that sets aside statistics and analyses to explore the stories of those who face death and dismemberment in search of a better life. These are not victims, but everyday people who have boldly taken their fate into their own hands by risking it all for a dream that's just out of reach.
