Nacht der Kojoten

Night Of The Coyotes

In El Alberto, Mexico, the border with the USA can be felt everywhere. It separates families, cuts up lives and uproots people. Those who have remained there have found an unusual response to this: They re-enact the illegal border crossing for tourists at night, slipping into the roles of the US border police, narcos and smugglers. A story of self-empowerment - or a village stuck in the loop of its traumatic experiences?
