An alien creature escapes from a research lab at the infamous "Area 51" determined to hunt down its former tormentors.

Beginning and ending with the endless promises of Mexican politicians, Barrio 13 is a film based on the daily life of many Mexicans and Central Americans who struggle with the current realities: poverty, despair, misery and political betrayal.

The film is a drama about the aftermath of the 1520s Spanish Conquest of Mexico told from the perspective of the indigenous Aztec people. It explores the social, religious, and psychological changes brought about by a historical process of colonization that both defined the American continent and is also highly reminiscent of today’s neocolonialism.
