Stark low-budget indie about human smuggling at the New York/Canadian border. This was a painful portrayal of life at the bottom of the food chain...the grim choices and daily humiliations forced on those struggling just to survive.
Amazingly, this managed to end on something of a positive note with the recognition between white and a Mohawk mothers of their common plight and shared humanity.
Very effective mise-en-scene. Typically strong performance by Melissa Leo. Lean and tight all the way through with not a wasted scene.
Good stuff.
