| ♥♥♥♥♥ | good for its intentions |
| This film is about a biracial man from a single parent home. He is racist and xenophobic. His bigoted peers convince him to sneak across the border in order to help Border Patrol. The plan gets fouled and he finds out what happens to many Mexican immigrants: slavery, rape, and nefarious abuses. I know someone who thought this film was sexist, but I think the main character is meant to be confused and one of his ways of showing that is through misogyny. This director mortgaged his home in order to finance this film. He's a cutie and you get to see his body really quickly in this work. I wish him best of luck behind the camera, but I hope he gets to appear in front of the camera just as much. Many people outside of California and Texas believe anything they are told about "illegal" immigration; this film is a low-budget, but well-intentioned, attempt to try to reverse that discourse into progressive directions. | |
