Our take

This unsettling documentary follows a Mexican woman’s trial after she is accused of murder in Texas, as well as her life in prison and her story of migration. With a strong artistic vision, director Lucía Gajá reveals the discrimination and hardship that Mexican migrants experience in the U.S.A.
