De Nadie
(80 minutes)
2006 Sundance Film
Festival, World Cinema Audience Award; 2006 Amnesty International, Seattle,
Winner Audience Award. The impoverished Central Americans who leave their
countries in hopes of a better life in the United States have a rough road ahead
of them. De Nadie shows how, during their perilous 2500-mile journey through
Mexico, they put their last money, dignity, health and life on the line. Mexican
filmmaker Tin Dirdamal follows a number of emigrants in a refugee center in
southern Mexico, from where they hitch illegal rides on freight trains to the
northern border. Apart from the Mexican immigration service and police, the
emigrants are threatened by the security service of the railroad companies, the
criminal La Mara Salvatrucha gang and the train itself. (Spanish with English
