Sin nombre

Sin Nombre, sometimes also known by its international English language title Without Name is an award-winning Spanish language film written and directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga , from Focus Features and produced by Amy Kaufman.

Parallel story lines of gang members and Honduran migrants riding the rails to the US border. The violence of the gang is demonstrated in the initiation of a young boy into the gang, in the gang leader's attempted rape of a woman who happens to be a gang member's secret girlfriend, and the robbery of migrants riding on top of a train going north. The film is very well made, and the story is enrapturing. I kept wondering if those who oppose migration into the US would be affected in seeing the determination, courage and grit of those hoping to get into the US to seek a better life.
