Vincent De Luca’s U.S.-Mexico border immigration documentary Desert Angel has added Demián Bichir and Danny Ramirez as executive producers.
De Luca said:
To have two incredible actors like Demián Bichir and Danny Ramirez join the film as executive producers is more than I could have hoped for. Demián is a tireless advocate for immigrants and Danny is a passionate champion of Latino voices and stories. Together, they will amplify these important conversations and foster much-needed empathy for people whose lives are mirrored in the film
The film chronicles the work of Rafael Larraenza, a volunteer rescuer who has spent the last 30 years risking his life searching for migrants lost along the US-Mexico border. It also follows Indira, a mother who has spent years searching for her missing son Rodrigo, with her journey standing as a powerful testament to the anguish of countless families navigating the uncertainties of the crossing.
Java Films will distribute the doc; it is set for a mid-October release.
