A gripping documentary, although we learn too little of the relationship between the filmmaker and his subjects.
Raw but riveting front-line journalism. Like any good reporter, Davis knows a fascinating story when he sees one, and he goes to impressive lengths to put himself in the middle of it, taking his viewers along for the bumpy ride.
Davis strives to keep himself out of the film, favoring a harrowing yet compassionate you-are-there aesthetic that underscores the hardship of the migrant workers' struggles.
Modest but memorable.
Davis' tough, man-of-the-people narration is often annoying, but his words can't diminish the power of his story.
Manages to capture firsthand the danger, fatigue and sheer tedium of an arduous illegal border crossing from Mexico without ever becoming tedious itself.
Fails to elicit any substantive information from his (Tommy Davis) subjects. And he fails to put their plight into perspective.
