George Lopez, Andie MacDowell and Jake Allyn are among the stars of this timely story about conflicts over illegal immigration.
Even in his pathetic last days, Donald Trump found time to take a trip to the Texas border to check on his wall. His journey only confirms the relevance of the new IFC movie,
No Man’s Land, which examines some of the human consequences of the divisiveness regarding immigration. The film tells a simple but poignant story of two families caught up in this conflict. The making of the movie was also something of a family affair. Conor Allyn directed, and the script was written by his brother, Jake Allyn (with some help from co-writer David Barraza). Jake also stars in the picture. The Allyn brothers grew up in Texas so understood the issues addressed, and they hoped to contribute to ongoing dialogue that is unlikely to be silenced any time soon.
