An intense drama on the border between the US and Mexico.

This thriller follows a working class family in a small border town in Texas. Jim (Michael Ray Escamilla) and Bee (Bre Blair) are struggling to keep up with the rising medical costs of their son's cancer. When a new treatment costs $ 250,000, Jim decides to do whatever it takes to get the money, even if it means smuggling drugs across the border. This choice can mean life and death. "Swamp Lion" is a beautifully photographed work that explores how far a family will go to save their child. A vibrant and well-played neo-western that asks the question of what is right and wrong.

perfect...

If you like socialrealistic movies with loads of sadness and health, doing the crimes to pay the medical bills due to cancer illness without coverage then watch swamp lion, an incredible act by michael ray escamilla, that unfortunately passed away just after the filming of this movie. Let this film stay as a testament of brilliant acting, and may he rest in peace.

Its a very scandinavian produced texas drama, with vibes of european filmmaking, the plotflow is great, 1h.48 mins, rushed by in a splitsecond, and my first thought where, now ive got a new favourite actor in my filecabinet, but its always like that, the best passes away at the peak of the moment...

the film is also a gripping lovestory between hardworking people, and also a dent in the bumper of the vehicle called american health service, but most of all well acted, shortspoken and at moments ominous.story of highly realistic piece of silverscreen storytelling, lovely musical score is the dot over the I, a big recommend from the grumpy old man.
