Three Mexican kids get lost in the desert while trying to cross the border to the United States. How did they get here? A tale of immigrant smuggling in Mexican border towns. Based on a true story.
A history that repeats itself every week in the border towns of Mexico, feeding one of the most profitable illegal businesses: immigrant smuggling. Based on the true story of Lucia (5 years old), Angela (17) and Fabian (15) who took a trip that many Mexican kids are taking every day, into the desert, in the hands of a stranger who promised to take them past the U.S. Immigration patrol’s and across the border to a better life. When the expedition is attacked by a gang of border thieves Lucia, Angela and Fabian run away and get lost in the night. Alone and disoriented, they wander in the Sonoran desert for three days without water or food with the sole support of their vision of life in America. A realistic view at what has become a profitable business, through the eyes of three young people with a dream.
