Summary:
"Missing in Brooks County ... zeroes in on one South Texas county and documents the toll it takes on family members in search of missing loved ones who made the unauthorized trek across the U.S.-Mexico border. The filmmakers explore why this region can be particularly deadly for migrants and the flaws in local, state and federal systems that make it hard for human remains to be identified."--Time.com
