EL INMIGRANTE is a documentary film that examines the Mexican and American border crisis 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.
Even while tackling a hot-button issue, El Inmigrante remains always aware of the human life at its center. Like all great dramas, the film is an inquiry into the truth, picking up enlightening shards of social and economic travails along the way, its purpose succinctly summed up by one of the interviews—“There won’t be justice, but maybe there will be consciousness.” –Fernando F. Croce, Cinequest Online
"This film needs to be sent to Washington DC." –Yolanda Peña (Border Action Network)
"El Inmigrante" (is) about the senseless death of Eusebio de Haro, a young migrant shot by an elderly Texas rancher, is often as evenhanded as it is smartly elegiac. – Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
