I really came across this movie by accident, and was totally amazed to discover that such a movie existed, and that is being aired in countries like Australia. The story, written in a documentary-like style, portrays the every day struggles of an illegal immigrant, having to face such difficult issues as finding a job, the imminent threat of being expelled from the country, trying to raise a child in the midst of all their issues, the crisis of identity and the longing for home, if such a place exists.
It is such a good movie in the way that presents "the other side of the story", the story of all those ones who leave their country and go chase the American dream, leaving everything behind, having to face so much struggles, and understanding that mainly because of them poor Latin American economies (such as El Salvador) are still able to subsist from all the money coming back from United States, from all those ones like Dolores who fight for a better future for their offspring and their beloved ones back home.
"Dirt" is the story of the people who no-one seem to care, the misunderstood ones, the ones without any identity, the ones always hiding, the ones that suffer so much...yet human beings, as you and me...
