Synopsis:
"Dying To Get In: Undocumented Immigration at the U.S./Mexico Border" offers a first hand look at the harsh reality of today's border crossing.
Ramon, a 50-year-old college graduate and father of two, explains his journey to the border in search of medical care for his sick son. Francisca, a 32-year-old mother, explains how her faith in God will guide her husband and 5-year-old child across the dangerous Sonoran desert. And a father, guiding his 5 children, all under age 13, explains how choosing the right coyote can be the difference between life and death.
The men, women, and children tell a story of border crossing and determination that applies to virtually all of us. They tell a story of the American Dream. By relying on faith, laughter, and family, today's migrants cope with the struggle to survive.
