Screening of "De Nadie" by Tin Dirdamal (Mexico
2005, 82 min.)
Q&A with Director Tin Dirdamal to follow the
screening. In Spanish with English subtitles
While many have justifiably discussed and debated
the plight of migrants crossing into the United
States in search of employment and a better life,
much less is known of what happens to Central
Americans who must first journey through Mexico on
their way to the United States. Frequently, they are
tortured, raped, robbed or even killed by any one of
several groups including Mexico's corrupt police,
gangs, and railroad employees. This is the
unforgettable story of Honduran migrant Maria, and
what she endured in her struggle for a better life.
