Ratings and reviews

Deep movie shows how Mexicans didn't come here to steal nor to rape just to have a better life for them and for there kids. Highly recommend

I watched this recently, & absolutely fell in love. Simply because its true when it comes to deportation, people know about it. & kind of see what goes on, but they don't see that it can actually tear a family. But can pick itself back it. Definitely worth watching!

Demian Bichir* un gran actor...muy buena película 100% recomendado un buen mensaje para los adolescentes que no valoran todo el sacrificio que hacen sus padres para sacarlos adelante para que tengan un mejor futuro.
