In 2010, the director of the award-winning documentary, Who Is Dayani Cristal?, was retracing the footsteps of a man who had died while trying to cross the US-Mexico border and following the body through the process of identification and repatriation. Marc Silver, the director, had accompanied the sheriff’s office to the scene on the day the man’s body had been found in the desert, just 20 min from Tucson. He then spent weeks in the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner, following every step of the identification process. When the remains of the Honduran man, Dilcy, were positively identified at the medical examiner’s office, Marc accompanied the body to the funeral home, and then onto the same flight itinerary from Tucson to Atlanta, and then to Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. Upon arrival in Tegucigalpa, Marc greeted Dilcy’s family, who had driven 8 h from the countryside in order to pick up Dilcy’s body from the airport. After waiting for the passengers and cargo to exit the plane, an airline representative told the family that the casket containing Dilcy’s remains had not made it onto the flight from Atlanta to Tegucigalpa. Apparently, luggage took priority over caskets, and with a full flight, Dilcy’s body had stayed on the tarmac overnight in Atlanta.
