An interview with Tania Avalos, the wife and mother of Oscar and Valeria Avalos, who were found dead on the banks of the Rio Grande at the Mexico-United States border. Avalos and her family fled rampant violence and poverty in El Salvador and were seeking asylum in the United States. When a gang demanded a large sum of money for the group to continue their journey, they had to decide whether or not to push forward. They chose to attempt to cross the river, 50 yards wide, though they were unable to swim due to rough conditions. The image of Oscar and Valeria became the symbol of the crisis at the border and prompted a rushed funding package from Congress to address conditions at facilities at the border. However, in the months since, no additional legislation has passed and an additional 52 migrant bodies have washed up on the riverbank. Avalos says her family was only looking for a better life.

The border that runs between Tijuana and San Diego is the most heavily militarized border between "friendly" countries anywhere in the world. Since 1994 when the U.S. instituted Operation Gatekeeper, an average of one person a day has died crossing into the U.S. The policy has been condemned by the UN Commissioner of Human Rights, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. This poignant film puts a human face on a tragedy that occurs daily. First we visit a small village in Oaxaca where more than half the men have emigrated to the United States to send money home. From here we follow the story of one young woman who made the journey to follow her husband, but died of dehydration in the desert. Then the film goes to Tijuana where thousands of people have desperately attempted the crossing, only to be thrown back. We learn of the hardships imposed by heat and thirst and abusive border guards. Finally, we hear first hand from a border guard, a human rights activist, and a citizen who actually goes into the desert each weekend to provide water for the fugitives. This is a memorable portrait of people who risk everything to come to "the land of plenty" --- and often lose this gamble. College Adult
