Mojados [Through the Night]
2004 / PG-13 / 70 min
A stunning documentary, filmed over the course of ten days, following four men into the world of illegal border-crossing from Mexico to United States. Alongside Bear, Tiger, Handsome, and Old Man, director Tommy Davis takes a 120 mile cross-desert journey that has been traveled innumerable times by nameless immigrants who – like the four young migrants from Michoacan, Mexico – all had a simple dream for a better life. Fighting dehydration and exhaustion while evading the U.S. Border Patrol through sub-zero temperature darkness of night, filled with barbed wire, brutal storms and the ever-present confrontation with death, they endure unimaginable hardship that is reality for tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who make a similar journey into the United States every year.

What if God had to have put you in their shoes? Then what? Deep down inside you would do the same exact thing. God made us all the same. Man seperated us by greed.

I think that everyone should watch this video to see how hard it is for someone who wants to work and provide for their families is willing to go through to do it. Alot of people here just do not understand what it is like. These people should be given a chance to prove themselves without having to go through what these guys did. How`s about a little compassion for the human race here. They are not here to take from anyone.
