Interesting facts

Mojados: Through the Night is a 2004 documentary film directed by Tommy Davis. The film documents the journey of four men as they trek 120 miles across the Texas desert.

Background

Davis said growing up he lived on the border, and after attending college in Washington D.C., he discovered that people didn't appreciate these migrant workers. So he decided to make the documentary because he "wanted to know more about them", and he had an "appreciation for people who are willing to do this." Before he set out on the journey with the men, Davis filmed interviews with some Texas ranchers and border-patrol agents.
