LITTLE IMMIGRANTS is an insider's look into child smuggling captured from both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. This documentary is a dramatic firsthand account of a family's journey to reunite after ten years of separation.
Siblings Abi and Eliezer, two Mexican minors living in a migrant shelter in the border town of Agua Pietra, Mexico, await their chance to cross the border to reunite with their mother Maria who lives in Tucson, Arizona. On the other side, Maria makes arrangements with a "coyota", or female smuggler, to bring the kids for a fee of $1,500 per person.
Shot in the aftermath of the Secure Fence Act of 2006 -- which aimed to decrease the number of undocumented immigrants crossing to U.S. territory by building fences along the most common entry points of the U.S.-Mexico border -- LITTLE IMMIGRANTS features interviews with immigration activist and experts including members of pro-immigrant group No More Deaths and anti-immigrant group Minute Men Project; agents of the U.S. Border Patrol and the Mexican State Department Grupo Beta; Arizona's Attorney General Paul Charlton and Arizona's Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne; an exclusive interview with late Senator Edward Kennedy; and many more.
