Mojados: Through the Night
USA 2004. 70 min.
Director: Tommy Davis
This eye-opening documentary filmed over the course of ten days gives a true first hand account of the plight of immigrants who risk death every day to enter the United States. Armed with a handheld camera and an eighty-five pound backpack full of batteries and film, director Tommy Davis follows four men - Bear, Tiger, Handsome, and Old Man - on their 120 mile cross-desert journey from Michoacan, Mexico to the United States. Davis brings to life the often unheard hopes and stories of these migrants as their dehydrated days evading the U.S. Border Patrol turn into sub-zero nights filled with barbed wire, brutal storms and the ever-present confrontation with death that is reality for the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who make a similar journey into the United States every year. MOJADOS is a stunning and honest portrait of the power of the pursuit of the American Dream. Co-presented with the Orange County Latino Film Festival.
