The Maldonado Miracle Movie Review 2003

The small desert border town of San Ramos is slowly dying until the church's Jesus statue is found to be crying tears of blood. This development brings pilgrims, media, and curiosity seekers at the same time a Mexican boy arrives looking for his father and on the run from Immigration. Hayek's directorial debut is uplifting and earnest, if a bit predictable, and she gets solid performances from an excellent cast.
