Synopsis:
This examination of the Mexican and American border crisis begins by
telling the story of Eusebio de Haro a young Mexican migrant who was
shot and killed during one of his journeys north. The film presents
a distinct humanitarian focus in which story and character take precedent
over policy and empiricism. Towards this end, El Inmigrante
examines the perspectives of a diverse cast of players in this border
narrative. A cast which includes the de Haro family, the community of
Brackettville, Texas–where Eusebio was shot, members of vigilante
border militias in Arizona, the horseback border patrol in El Paso,
and migrants en route to an uncertain future in the United States.
