Deportados

Directed by

Alonso O. Lara

A group of men and women attempt to cross from Mexico into the United States in pursuit of the American dream. Driven by poverty, hope, and desperation, they risk everything for the promise of a better life. But their journey turns into a nightmare. Some immigration agents of Latin descent abuse their power, secretly hunting and killing migrants during their time off duty. Those who manage to survive the crossing face new forms of exploitation. Women who reach the United States are deceived and forced into prostitution in local bars, while the men encounter discrimination and rejection — even from members of their own community. In a world shaped by prejudice, corruption, and broken promises, survival becomes the only dream left.
