The proud Mexican tradition of corrido music -- captured in the performances of Mexican band Los Tigres del Norte and the late Chalino Sanchez -- provides backbone to this examination of songs, drugs, and dreams along the U.S./Mexico border.
Al Otro Lado follows Magdiel, an aspiring corrido composer from the drug capital of Mexico, as he faces two difficult choices to better his life: to traffic drugs or to cross the border illegally into the United States. An Official Selection of the Tribeca Film Festival and a PBS POV documentary.
