Mojados
Through the night

Synopsis

Eye-opening documentary filmed over the course of ten days that follows four men into the desperate world of illegal immigration. Alongside Bear, Tiger, Handsome, and Old Man, director takes a 120 mile cross-desert journey that has been travelled innumerable times by nameless immigrants who all had the simple, American dream for a better future.

MOJADOS brings to life the often unheard hopes and stories of these migrants as their dehydrated days evading the U.S. Border Patrol turn into sub-zero nights filled with barbed wire, brutal storms and the ever-present confrontation with death that is reality for the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who make a similar journey into the United States every year in search of a better life.
