What's it about?
No Man’s Land is an action adventure film. Border vigilante Bill Greer and his sons Jackson and Lukas are on patrol when Jackson accidentally kills a young Mexican immigrant. Bill tries to take the blame but Texas Ranger, Ramirez, sees through the lie, spurring Jackson to flee across the Rio Grande border on horseback. Jackson journeys across deserts and mountains to seek forgiveness from the dead boy's vengeful father, Gustavo.
What to expect
No Man’s Land provides a humanising perspective on the lives of families who are caught up in the tension between USA and Mexico. It is intended for older audiences who have some understanding of the political and social issues involved. Crime isn’t dealt with in a way that creates any moral ambiguity for younger viewers. The film focuses on the negative consequences of vigilantism and the life changing outcomes for the central protagonists. The film’s few depictions of violence are brief and inexplicit. The more confronting imagery may be briefly startling to younger viewers but is unlikely to cause them lasting harm such as nightmares, nor is it likely to make them fearful of real life situations. However this content makes the film more suitable for older viewers. Considering these factors, No Man’s Land is classified as unrestricted but with a recommendation that it is more suited to mature audiences.
