Purgatorio
A mosaic of vignettes about the everyday struggles of those who work and live in the borderlands separating Mexico and America. Purgatorio is a surreal journey through this stark, other-worldly no-man’s-land. Women dressed as angels walk the streets, urging people to seek God, while many look for salvation elsewhere: drugs, crime or across the border in the fabled land of hope. Border politics meets the poetic in this provocative portrayal of the brutal beauty that is the US-Mexico border.

In the mix are an array of colorful characters who are connected by one common denominator: they all have something to hide.
