Overview
Rafael Larraenza has dedicated his life’s work in service of others by running a harrowing, high-stakes DIY search-and-rescue operation for those who have gone missing crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. For 25 years, Larraenza, a naturalized Mexican immigrant, has led missions deep into the desert and is one of the few people equipped to answer the call when migrants and their families need help. Now, facing physical decline and limited resources, Larraenza races against time to help a mother find her missing son, knowing that every minute can mean the difference between life and death. Desert Angel follows his dangerous journey through the deadly landscapes few ever see and some never escape.
