SPARE MY BONES, COYOTE!

Dir. Jonah Malak

SPARE MY BONES, COYOTE!

2025 | FEATURE DOCUMENTARY

For the last twelve years, Marisela and Ely and the group of volunteers The Águilas del Desierto have been roaming the US-Mexico desert. Their goal: to seek, find and return to their families the bodies of migrants who died while crossing on foot. This all-consuming calling takes a crushing toll on them, but how could they stop? Spare My Bones, Coyote! follows their work, dedication, and difficult lives they have chosen to live.
