The film Who is Dayani Cristal? – featuring the Mexican actor and activist – tells the story of an unidentified migrant who lost his life in an Arizona desert.
In a report by Humane Borders, since 1999 there have been 2,471 migrants deaths in Arizona alone. Most of the bodies found have not been identified.

A new documentary by Marc Silver and Gael García Bernal tells the story of one of these unidentified migrants, who died while crossing the Sonoran desert in Arizona.
In August 2010, border patrol officers found a migrant's decomposing body in Arizona's infamous "corridor of death." His only identifiable feature was a tattoo that read "Dayani Cristal."

Along the way, he meets other traveling migrants – some who've made the journey several times before.
Their stories are often times chilling and eye-opening.
