Alambrista! Reviews

Innocent, wide-eyed Mexican youth Ambriz decides his future lies across the border in the US, so he slips over to undergo incredible exploitation as an illegal alien, slaving for peon wages to support his starving family. Hardly a favorite among staunch conservatives, this is a groundbreaking study of social persecution in the US and a remarkable feature directorial debut for Robert M. Young.
