WHO IS DAYANI CRISTAL?  demonstrates how one life becomes testimony to the tragic results of the U.S. war on immigration. This hybrid of documentary and participant observation follows the staff of the Pima County Morgue on a forensic investigation to uncover the identity of a migrant who died in the “corridor of death” along the Arizona-Mexico border. Then Mexican actor and activist Gael Garcia Bernal joins a group of migrants to retrace the deceased man’s steps in Central America to experience first-hand the dangers and learn about the motivations, hopes and fears of the migrants who undertake, but do not always complete, this journey.
