SYNOPSIS
Focusing on minors crossing through the Sonora Desert area in Nogales, Arizona alone, Children in No Man's Land documents the story of Maria de Jesus (13) and her cousin Rene (12) as they attempt to cross the U.S./Mexico border alone to reunite with their mothers in the Midwest. The film follows every detail of the children’s journey as well as the journey of other children we meet on the way. We uncover in an intimate and personal way where they are coming from, what their journeys have been like, and how they've gone about making the United States of America their new home. |
