Who is Dayani Cristal?

Description

In a fusion of drama and documentary, made in collaboration with actor Gael García Bernal, this hybrid film follows one man’s journey from his home in Honduras to the border between Mexico and the United States, where he meets his death while attempting to cross into the U.S. An investigation uncovers a tale of family and faith, discovered by tracing his body’s only identifying feature; a tattoo reading ‘Dayani Cristal.’
