Sin Nombre

A Honduran girl travels north on the migrant train, the train of death, along with her father. A Mexican gang member flees from his own gang. Their paths cross on one of the most dangerous journeys on the continent. Cary Joji Fukunaga makes his debut with a film that captures the reality of Central American migrants and the violence of the maras with brutally honest storytelling. Raw, visually striking, and emotionally powerful, it announced the arrival of an extraordinarily talented director.

Fukunaga's debut is both brutal and tender. A look at the 'La Bestia' train that transports Central American migrants to the United States. Essential viewing.
