"THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN"
You're either good or bad, right? Hm. This is the story about an immigrant named Claudia who gets deported from the U.S and is sent to Mexico to live with her father, who doesn't have a good relationship with his daughter. Claudia has the desire to make it back to her supposed homeland with her mother through hostile borders, but she must overcome personal conflicts through her journey that would test her the woman she really is: a criminal... or not.
Very few times is the independent film that feels like a big-budget one, specially a good one. Well, Hostile Border or Pocha: Manifest Destiny manages to be a well-told story with deep themes and one that features one of the most interesting and grounded female characters in the past few years. Emotional, intense, well-acted, and with controversial yet real subjects conveyed, this is one of the most impressive independent films with its tight script and direction. Here are the highlights of the movie!
