Heartland Film Festival 2008

World Premiere

Based on the true story of Lucia (5), Angela (17 and Fabian (15) who took a trip that many Mexican kids are taking every day. A dangerous trip into the desert in the hands of a stranger who promised to take them past the U.S. immigration patrols and across the border to a better life. A story repeated everyday, these kids were lost when they ran away from a gang of thieves. They spent three days trying to find their way out of the Sonoran desert and survived only by drinking their own urine, eventually paying a high price for their attempted trip. A Better Life is a realistic view at what has become a profitable business, through the eyes of three children.
