The film is en español. No subtitles. It might be of interest to people studying the problem of undocumented workers and the semi-official Mexican view of this problem. The was produced about the time of "Operation Wetback" in the USA.
The story is told as a warning to paisanos not to be lured by the promise of big money in the USA. It was filmed in Ciudad Juárez and does a good job of evoking the Juárez of the 1950's (at least as I remember it) Much of it is realistic,but some of it is way off. There is one big watch tower overlooking the river and the coyotes are dumb enough to bring a string of pollos directly to it so the evil gringos can pick them off one by one with their rifles. |
