Hostile Border

After being deported from the US for credit card fraud, Claudia (22) must go to her estranged father’s cattle ranch in México. Struggling to adapt to family and a way of life she has never known, she partners with a dangerous smuggler who promises to get her back to America if she helps him trespass on her family’s ranch. Both a thriller and classic western, POCHA is the transformative journey of a young woman confronting the high price of American ideals in the dark places between two cultures.
