The Devil's Highway

A "movie trailer" based off the book The Devil's Highway by Luis Alberto Urrea created by students participating in Books Inspiring Film. Books Inspiring Film is an organization which encourages reading among teenagers by linking reading to film. Students create short video trailers based on novels to promote books to their peers.

Synopsis of the book from Luis Alberto Urrea's website:
"The Devil's Highway is a strip of deadly desert along the US-Mexico border in a region where, on average, at least one migrant has died every day of the past few years. For the thousands of immigrants from Mexico, Central and South America, and even sometimes Asia and Africa who cross the border here, it really is like hell on earth: an endless swath of jagged mountains and blazing stretches of sand, teeming with Border Patrol agents, corrupt police officers, brutal smugglers, scorpions and rattlesnakes, all under a relentlessly cruel sun."
