Eagles

About This Movie

Eagles, or Águilas, as it’s known, digs into the harsh realities faced by migrants crossing the Arizona desert – a tough watch, honestly. The film follows the Águilas del Desierto, a group of searchers dedicated to finding the missing. It’s not just about the search; it captures the somber atmosphere of desperation and hope. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the gravity of each scene to settle in, and it’s pretty raw in its depiction of the struggles both the searchers and the migrants face. You get a strong sense of community, and the personal stories resonate deeply. It’s distinctive in how it humanizes a crisis often reduced to statistics. A solid pick for anyone interested in social issues through a documentary lens.
