Sin Nombre
Making its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, Sin Nombre is
an epic dramatic thriller from award-winning director Cary Fukunaga.
Seeking the promise of America, a beautiful young Honduran woman, Sayra (Paulina Gaytan),
joins her father and uncle on an odyssey to cross the gauntlet of the Latin American countryside
en route to the United States. Along the way she crosses paths with a teenaged Mexican gang
member, El Casper (Edgar M. Flores), who is maneuvering to outrun his violent past and elude
his unforgiving former associates. Together they must rely on faith, trust and street smarts if
they are to survive their increasingly perilous journey towards the hope of new lives.
