Reportero

The Film

There are ebbs and flows to the news cycle, but what are the deeper stories of a place? That is the question tugging at a veteran reporter and photojournalist in the Mexican border city of Mexicali. A native son, he weaves in and out of the lives of the region's residents, often revisiting the themes in his reporter's notebook — immigration, corruption, and the rise in drug-related violence. Through a series of interconnected stories, we are witness to the challenges facing this region and along the U.S.-Mexico border.
