SPARE MY BONES, COYOTE! (2025) Hot Docs 2025

This is a crushing look at the work of Marisela and Ely Ortíz have been roaming the US-Mexico desert looking to find the bodies of the migrants who were abandoned by coyotes on their treks into America. It’s a bitterly sad tale of a couple and their group who try to bring closure to the families who had their loved ones disappear.

This is easily one of the best docs I’ve seen this year.  

In a time where migrants are demonized this is a film that returns the humanity to the term. It's also a film that reminds us that there are still good people in the world. 

I was moved to the point where I can't really express myself.

In an age when the far right wants to make you think the people who are trying for a better life are monsters, this is reminder that they are people, with lives and families

Highly recommended.
