SIN NOMBRE

USA/Mexico/Great Britain
2008
94 minutes

The paths of an Honduran teenager searching for a better life and a Mexican gang member fleeing from certain death cross on a train carrying illegal immigrants through Mexico toward the US. Smart update of old crime gang melodramas as a “problem picture” that takes a matter-of-fact look at the roots of Latin American immigration but never lets its message take center stage.
