Immigrants from around the world enter Los Angeles every day, with hopeful visions of a better life, but little notion of what that life may cost. Their desperate scenarios test the humanity of immigration enforcement officers. In Crossing Over, writer-director Wayne Kramer explores the allure of the American dream, and the reality that immigrants find – and create -- in 21st century L.A.

Border patrol agents face a grueling moral crisis as the desperate struggle for survival pushes them to choose between following the law and honoring their own humanity. This collision of immigrant ambition and rigid enforcement creates a heavy, unblinking look at the cost of the American dream.
