Music has the ability to bridge culture and life experiences. Music can be uniting, we use it together to celebrate, mark milestones and to mourn. For Mexicans and Mexican-Americans, Mariachi music in particular is a central part of everyday events. Mariachi music represents the soul of what it means to be Mexican and Mexican-American.

About the film: In the competitive world of high school mariachi, the musicians from the South Texas borderlands reign supreme.
