Purgatorio (18+ Film)

A Journey Into the Heart of the Border

From the director Rodrigo Reyes, Purgatorio: A Journey Into the Heart of the Border is a 2013 documentary that takes a look into the Mexico/U.S. Border while following the story of Dante Alighieri’s “Purgatory.” Leaving politics aside, he takes a fresh look at the brutality of the border and the people caught in its spell. By capturing a stunning mosaic of compelling characters and broken landscapes, the filmmaker reflects on the flaws of human nature and the powerful absurdities of the modern world. An unusual border film, in the auteur tradition of camera-stylo, Purgatorio ultimately becomes a fable of humanity, an epic and visceral experience with powerful and lingering images.

After the film will be a Q&A with Rodrigo Reyes. The documentary is brought to us by Good Docs.

This event is strictly 18+ due to the graphic nature of this film. This includes, but is not limited to, substance use, violence, and death. Viewer discretion is advised.
