Death on the Border

Wanted to write this review after we saw this great movie. Wendy Wilkins truly depicted the struggles that can go on in our society! The actors really took over and became their characters 100%. It is well worth seeing. It is funny my family never agrees on liking something equally! But this movie we were all a captivated audience. Eric Roberts, Danny Trejo along with the rest of the cast nailed it! And, I think that was Wendy in a spectacular role creating the glue that cemented the entire movie. Without giving too much away there is a sequence and a true artifact that is stunning! Well worth it. Brian B.

This movie was written and directed with a lot of passion. I feel like the filmmaker knows her stuff and overcame all odds to tell this story. It's also a lot of fun to see Danny Trejo play a priest rather than the heavy. I felt he brought a lot to the role and he is believable! I hope to see him in more roles like this. The locations are great and the photography is stunning. I personally love when filmmakers tell a story that they know about intimately and tell it from their heart. I hope that Wendy Wilkins gets more chances to tell her stories and hone her craft. It's still very tough for female filmmakers but there is a great need for their stories to be told.

As someone who has worked on the prevention of human trafficking for over a decade and has watched hundreds of films - there is no perfect movie on human trafficking, but Death on the Border captures so many important nuances of this crime against humanity - it has achieved what many have not - the ability to stoke a fire of anger at the blatant horror of exploitation, but also motivate to action which is what will bring this nightmare to end. Watch this movie and then do what moves your heart, support those getting victims safe, and those keeping more children from victimization. I highly recommend this movie for those interested in keeping children safe and to increase an understanding of this issue facing humanity today.

This was action packed and Eric Roberts was at his best. Danny Trejo was incredible. The film shines a spotlight on human trafficking and the female anti-heroes turned heroes were wonderfully drawn out and portrayed in believable fashion. I enjoyed the flick and would say it is worth the viewing pleasure. Independent films like this one deserve all the attention they can get and it can't be understated enough how well done this was done especially for a film with Wendy Wilkins taking on directorial, producing, and writing hats all at the same time. Get out there, support indie film, and thank me later!

Excellent, suspenseful movie, highly recommend anything by Wendy Wilkins! Great topic to create a movie about. I also really like the actors in this movie. I've always been a fan of Danny Trejo, Shannon Elizabeth did a great job too. It's based on a true story, so very raw. Sex trafficking needs to stop, so it's great that this story brought light to What's going on at the border. Having faith is also a good inspiring topic to bring in. I tend to avoid drama And violent movies because I prefer comedy and lighthearted stuff, but this one was very well done. Will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat.
