Established television director Alonso Alvarez-Barreda (Snowfall, Kindred, The Lincoln Lawyer, and more) makes his feature film debut with The Wingwalker, which was the opening night film at the 40th Chicago Latino Film Festival.

The Wingwalker is the story of an airport luggage handler named Julian, who is a widowed and a father to a nine-year-old daughter, Sofia. His life takes an unexpected turn when a car accident and a family secret wind up getting Julian deported to Mexico.

Sofia has been diagnosed with a terminal heart disease and is scheduled for a heart transplant in two weeks. Julian must find a way to sneak back into the country. In the process, he comes face to face with the harsh realities faced by many migrants trying to make their way into the U.S.

The Wingwalker is a thrilling, suspenseful, and moving look at one of the most divisive issues in the country today.
