- Jeremy Marre
Filmmaker Jeremy Marre paints a thought-provoking portrait of the indigenous music of the Tex-Mex border region -- the area following the meandering path of the Rio Grande River that flows between Texas and Mexico. Representative of the region and its people, the sounds of Tex-Mex are distinctive. The lyrics are just as descriptive, capturing the history of a land marked by violence and drug trafficking, but also by passion and joy.
