All About Movies

After murdering his gang's leader, a teenager joins a family of Honduran immigrants making the dangerous journey across Mexico to the United States, avoiding a fellow gang member who has been sent to kill him along the way.

Out of the 13 movies I watched at the Sundance Film Festival this was my favorite, wait, no Push was also a Favorite. Why? Maybe because I didn't have any expectations, but for some reason was immediately sucked into the life of these kids and their dilemmas of survival and the hopes for a better life (and please leave your political views aside, this is a story of someone's life).

Anyway, see for yourself.
