Sin Nombre

T
his is a powerful movie about people and the environments they inhabit. The film begins in Central America following the lives of two young people with entirely different

objectives in life, but both are trapped by the culture in which they live. Sayre is a young woman who is seeking a better life in the USA.  He wishes to escape gang life.  Their paths cross on a north bound freight train with refugees perched precariously on top as it rumbles along. They become friends and become inseparable but are hunted by the gang which he deserted.

It has a good story and depicts the extreme poverty in which some Central Americans live in. There is a lot of violence but not gratuitous. Sin Nombre is a good film worthy of awards in the industry.
