The Golden Dream (12A)
-
Sat 13 Jun
Three teenagers jump 'The Beast' - the infamous train that illegal immigrants board to take them from Guatemala, through Mexico, to the American border.
The journey to a better life is fraught with danger. Facing exploitation at every turn, the only people they can trust on this perilous journey are each other.
Made using improvisational techniques and non-professional actors, The Golden Dream is a piercing and poetic road movie.
