Believe the hype around American Dirt - it really is that good! In Acapulco, Mexico drug cartels have residents living in terror. When mother Lydia is forced to flee with her eight-year-old son, friends become enemies overnight. Their only hope is to attempt to cross the Mexican border into the US illegally. But the journey is dangerous and no-one can be trusted. This story is a roller-coaster ride of brutality, kindness, terror, love, and bravery. Lydia is a mother who will do whatever it takes to save her son. Breathtaking.
