We’re excited to announce that ILEGALES has been invited to show at the 17th Annual Sedona International Film Festival! Produced by Patrick T. Rousseau and Noah Workman of Iris MediaWorks with Gregg Jackson of Three Sigma Management and Jacob Pokluda of Collaborative Artists, ILEGALES is a modern day drama about human trafficking along the U.S/Mexico border. From the slums of Juarez to the suburbs of New Mexico, five distinct, but connected stories weave together, exploring hope, heartbreak and the lines people cross in search of a better life.

In Juarez, a Mexican day laborer chooses to help his childhood friend traffic illegal migrant workers across the border despite his wife’s fears. A young mother, after waiting 7 years to cross legally, flees Juarez in a desperate attempt to get her son the medical treatment he needs in America. In New Mexico, an illegal immigrant waiting for naturalization sells drugs to pay the bills for his American born children. Their paths collide when a low level Mexican gangster tries to work up the ladder to gain favor with the “Don” of Juarez, risking their lives as he traffics people and drugs across the border.

ILEGALES, which stars Shirley Rumierk, Luis Bordonada, Omar Leyva, J. Salomé Marinez Jr., and Art LaFleur, will screen on Tuesday, February 22nd at 12:20pm and Thursday, February 24th at 9:20pm. Both screenings will be at the Harkins Theatre Sedona 6, 2081 W. Highway 89A, Sedona, Arizona.
