El Norte

A powerful and poignant drama following the journey of two indigenous Guatemalan siblings who flee political persecution and violence in their homeland. Their harrowing trek northward leads them through Mexico and ultimately to the United States, where they face new challenges as undocumented immigrants struggling to survive and build a better future. El Norte explores themes of displacement, resilience, and the human spirit amid the harsh realities of migration.
