Plot Summary
For years immigrants passed through San Diego, but cutting-edge technologies have helped stem the flow of illegal immigration there. This leaves only the mountains and deserts of Arizona for those desperate enough to try their luck. And it is here that Akerman shifts her focus, between Agua Prieta, Sonora, and Douglas, Arizona, and the desert in between.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: A spare, painterly and scrupulously unsentimental look at the plight of illegal Mexican immigrants massed at the United States border.
Rotten: A highly stylized and artsy documentary that is more concerned with emotionalism and visual expressiveness than facts.
Fresh: Akerman's characteristically patient, pensive approach elegantly accommodates her reportorial responsibilities.
