About the Show

In the shifting sands of the Desert Southwest, an imaginary line carved out by generals, politicians, settlers and presidents separates Mexico and the United States. The people on either side of this line are tightly bound together, but in Arizona and California, the gates to a better life are all slammed shut. For Nini and Violetta, two illegals desperate for a new beginning, the only way through is an expensive and dangerous journey in the bottom of a semi-truck piloted by a cagey and hawkish smuggler who expects payment on the other side- be it by money or blood. Zayd Dohrn’s fast paced, brutal, and hyper-realistic dialogue fuels a story of four people from two Americas, each hell-bent on finding a better life, and willing to cross any border to do it.
