Viewed: SIN NOMBRE

'Without Name' depicts the underworld of Mexico, and it's a messy, disturbing one considering how teenagers and young adults run the show. Based on reality that exists it highlights the deadly gang wars where the boys try to be men and die even before they become men.

This is a story of a young boy of one of the gangs who goes on a run as he ends up killing his boss when he saves a girl from him. Knowing that with not much to live, he decides to help the girl complete her journey - go to the other side of the world for a better life - to America.

It's a stark, dirty world out there and in the world of drugs & death, young kids get caught up and lose their lives.
