Overview

David, George, and Greg, best friends since high school, are “The War Boys”. They used to perch on the US-Mexican border, waiting to spot illegal immigrants who were trying to run into the United States. Sometimes, without a thought for the immigrants, the boys chased them across the wasteland and back across the border – just for fun. It was just one of those games boys played to make themselves feel big. But high school’s over now. David is unexpectedly home from his freshman year of college and the War Boys have been reunited.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A portrait of three friends confronting how childhood cruelty and privilege take on darker meaning as adulthood approaches. The film unsettles by treating casual border harassment as the intimate character drama it becomes.
