De Gringo a la Tumba

De Gringo a la Tumba is set in Mexico, involving a little girl trying desperately to reunite with her mother in the U.S., with the help of a burnt out, alcoholic Gringo. This film has something that other border films lack, heart. Imagine a road trip between a seven-year-old non-English-speaking girl, wise beyond her years, and a middle-aged, non-Spanish-speaking Gringo. The relationship has all the emotional complexity of a father trying to raise an orphaned child, or the exact opposite, a child trying to raise a negligent and irresponsible father. It's a race-against-time, for this odd couple, dodging machismo, bounty hunters, CIA agents, and the cartels, while learning to understand and respect each other and escape a dangerous landscape. Is Gringo willing to risk his life and make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the safety of a young girl? Gringo soon realizes he holds cargo that potentially holds the key to the entire Chihuahua and Sonora drug routes, something the U.S. has wanted to control for years. When the mission gets too dangerous, Gringo prefers to take the easy road and save himself, but that naive look in the eyes of the child that he's agreed to help tells him that her life depends on him to be brave. Our world is divided by borders, yet the most important thing inside of each border are the people. Humanity transcends borders. Our film is more than just a border-war story between the United States and Mexico, it's about the humanity of the people who exist on opposite sides of the border, yet strive to do what is morally right. Based off the multi international award winning short film, From Gringo To Grave.
