The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

Logo for The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

When a rookie patrolman in a US border town mistakenly kills the Mexican illegal immigrant Melquiades Estrada, he hastily buries him in the desert. When the body is found, Estrada's friend Pete Perkins kidnaps the patrolman and takes him with him on a journey across the border, to bury the body in his home town.
