  • Watch Online / A Donde Fue Juan José? (2003)



    Desc: A Donde Fue Juan José?: Directed by Laura Abeita, Kenny Schneider. ¿A DONDE FUE JUAN JOSE? is a story of dreams destroyed - hopes crushed. It is a compelling tale of an all too typical immigration from Mexico to the United States. The film artfully chronicles the plight of desperately poor Mexicans seeking a better life in the North. Two brothers, Juan Jose and Marcos leave their family in Mexico to come to the United States to find work. Their first attempt to cross the border ends in defeat when the Coyote steals their money. Their second attempt succeeds, but only after a near-death trek through the cast Sonoran desert. They finally arrive at the house of their Aunt Silvia who finds jobs for them with her friend Manuel, the Jefe of a large ranch. They are happy, working hard, sending money home to Mexico when tragedy strikes. ¿A DONDE FUE JUAN JOSE? depicts the lives of Mexican Immigrants. It is not a film you'll soon forget.
