What are critics saying?
TV Guide Magazine by Frank Lovece
An effective and moving drama about the strength of the human spirit and the will to survive.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
This is the first film to approach the subject of "undocumented workers" solely through their eyes. This is not one of those docudramas where we half-expect a test at the end, but a film like "The Grapes of Wrath" that gets inside the hearts of its characters and lives with them.
