“One of the most talked about Mexican documentary films of the year”
This standout documentary portrays the imprisonment and prosecution of a young Mexican woman in Texas following the death of a child under her care. Rosa migrated illegally to Austin, Texas in 1999 at the age of 17. In January 2003, she was imprisoned on suspicion of murder and then tried in August of 2005. As the legal process unfolds we discover a chilling example of a judicial system entrenched with injustice and witness the risks involved in pursuing the American dream.
