By: FilmWorks Entertainment Illegal tells the stories of a group of people in Ciudad de Juarez with one thing in common: they are all looking for a better life for themselves and their families. For many, that better life waits just a short walk away in the United States. A rare and all too true snapshot of one of today’s hottest topics, Illegal captures the raw motives and realities of illegal immigration in the United States. Set in the sweltering desert of the Southwest U.S., five individuals are portrayed as they struggle with their circumstances. Maribel, a waitress in Juarez, Mexico faces an impossible decision after she realizes that the only hope for her dying son lies in medical treatment in the U.S.. Ariel, an honest and hard-working day-laborer in New Mexico, battles the temptation of higher wages as a drug trafficker. Arturo, working the fields with Ariel must decide where his loyalties lie when he is suddenly pitted against a smooth-talking government immigration officer. Ignacio, a dish-washer in New Mexico, deals drugs to teens in a dead-end town while immigration agents circle in to use him as an entry-way to a Mexican drug cartel. And Chuy, a low-level trafficker of both immigrants and drugs, longs for a way out of his miserable life full of violence and fear. Through heartbreak and hope, these five separate stories interweave in this tense and gritty portrayal of the social, economic and political impact of illegal immigration in the U.S. today. The Illegal DVD will include the following special features: Bonus Footage Movie Trailer Photo Gallery http://www.youtube.com/ End
