Spare My Bones, Coyote!
Sunday, Apr 27, 2025 7:30 PM
For twelve years, a Mexican American couple have organized biweekly search and rescue missions along the desert border to find and return the bodies of migrants who died while trying to cross on foot to their families. Despite exhaustion, burnout and post-traumatic stress, they continue to bring closure to those who have lost loved ones in the pursuit of a better life.

The border between Mexico and the United States remains a political flashpoint as walls expand and deportations increase. Thousands risk their lives seeking safety and freedom, though for many that journey ends in tragedy. For over a decade, Ely and Marisela have voluntarily ventured into the sweltering US desert leading group searches for the bodies of migrants with the hope of returning them to their families. Word has spread about this couple’s tireless efforts and now they receive daily messages from strangers across Latin America with desperate pleas to locate missing loved ones. The exhaustion, emotional toil and increasing burden the pair face highlight a catastrophic situation with no end in sight. However, their belief in the dignity of human life demonstrates the actions of few can impact many. Focusing squarely on those harmed directly by this crisis, Spare My Bones, Coyote! is a rare and powerful story of perseverance amid a majestic, unforgiving landscape. Alexander Rogalski.
