Logline:
Driven by tragedy, a young Brazilian engineering prodigy and a Ukrainian refugee forge an unbreakable bond as they defy borders, gangs, and gravity—crossing the Americas in a restored Cessna 172 in search of freedom.
Pitch:
What happens when technical brilliance meets absolute survival?
After a devastating loss in Brazil, Bryan—an elite student at ITA with pilot's hands and an engineer's mind—is forced into exile. His path crosses with Miriam, a resilient Ukrainian refugee carrying the trauma of war. Together, they navigate a grueling, high-stakes journey through Central America and Mexico, surviving coyotes, cartels, and the harsh realities of the border.
When land routes become a dead end, Bryan relies on his greatest asset: reviving an abandoned, dusty Cessna 172 on a farm near Tijuana to fly beneath radar detection straight toward Los Angeles.
Where Borders Fall Silent is a visceral, emotionally charged story about grief, sacrifice, and the ultimate test of human resilience. It blends the gripping border-crossing tension of Sicario with the intimate emotional depth and airborne desperation of Adrift.
