Based on a true story, A Better Life is the faithful account of three Mexican children who got lost in the Sonoran desert while trying to cross the U.S. border. A story that repeats itself every week in the border towns of Mexico, feeding one of the most profitable illegal businesses: immigrant smuggling.
