“What is The Circuit?”

The Circuit is about an illegal immigrant boy who comes to America with his family to make a better life for themselves.

When it comes to not speaking English and having no education it becomes a struggle for Francisco. Francisco tells us what he has to go through every day just to make a better living with his family.
