Watch the powerful new trailer for FRONTERA.

Set along the tumultuous Arizona-Mexico border, FRONTERA, starring Ed Harris, Eva Longoria, and Michael Pena, follows Miguel (Peña), a hardworking father and devoted husband who crosses the border illegally and is wrongfully accused of murdering the wife of a former sheriff (Harris). Miguel’s pregnant wife (Longoria) lands in the hands of corrupt Mexican “Coyote” smugglers as she tries to help her husband, while the ex-lawman investigates his wife’s death and unearths evidence that could destroy one family’s future.

FRONTERA examines both sides of the complex issues of immigration and human trafficking that deeply affects both the U.S. and Mexico. It shows that a border might divide two countries, but can’t divide humanity, for good or bad, we are all part of the problem and the solution.

Of his film, director and co-writer Michael Berry says:

Though the events that take place in FRONTERA are fiction, they are inspired by the reality that exists in this region and affects the people who live there. Neither my co-writer Juan Luis Moulinet nor I, have delusions that there are any obvious solutions to these issues.

When Luis and I started talking about making this film, we were both adamant that we did not want to lean the narrative toward one side or the other. We wanted instead to illuminate and focus on the humanity from the point of view of the characters on both sides. Our most ambitious hope is that in some small way, the story of FRONTERA might raise questions and serve as a reminder that there are human beings on both sides of the line being affected by these issues every day.

Perhaps the only thing that is truly obvious is that something must be done to improve the situation in this region. Perhaps instead of focusing on the politics of who is right or wrong, we might re-double our efforts to concentrate on working together to find solutions to this complicated and challenging issue that has led to so much suffering and injustice on both sides of the line.
