Genre: Documentary
Director: Tommy Davis
Starring:
Rated: NR

Extremely powerful and very tight documentary (63 minutes) by first-time filmmaker Tommy Davis, who spent 10 days following the journey of four illegal immigrants into the United States as they searched for nothing more or less than to be exploited as cheap labor. Unflinchingly real and never glamorous, the film presents a harrowing picture of these lives in a way rarely seen.
