Trailer for Immigration Drama BEYOND THE BORDERS Starring Zoe Saldaña and Garrett Hedlund
A trailer has been released for the indie immigration drama Beyond the Borders, which was released last year under the former title The Absence of Eden.
The movie is now getting a VOD release in the UK, and we are seeing this new trailer to promote it. The film stars Zoe Saldaña, Garrett Hedlund, Adria Arjona, Tom Waits, and Chris Coy.
The film’s synopsis reads: “Marco Perego's film The Absence of Eden takes place at the border between the United States and Mexico – a hellish landscape inhabited by coyotes, armed officers, many desperate immigrants, and refugees.
“When Esmee (Zoe Saldaña), a young woman working as a private dancer in Mexico, is forced to commit a violent act of self-defense that results in the death of a cartel member, she must flee her homeland to find sanctuary in the United States.
“Guided by a ruthless Coyote and a group of undocumented immigrants, she befriends a young mother and her daughter along the way. Before crossing the border, the mother is taken from the group, and Esmee promises to protect her daughter and help them reunite in America, touching off an interlocking story about the people struggling to survive on America’s border with Mexico.”
Beyond the Borders, originally known as The Absence of Eden is directed by Italian filmmaker Marco Perego, in his feature directorial debut with this film, from a screenplay co-written by Perego and Rick Rapoza.
Check out the trailer below, and watch Beyond the Borders when it’s released direct-to-VOD in the UK on March 3, 2025.
