A documentary from Al Jazeera's Witness series, titled "Finding Desert Angels," follows an ageing search-and-rescue volunteer as he works to find a woman's missing son in the US-Mexico borderlands.
The film portrays the volunteer as a longtime figure in search-and-rescue efforts in the border region, continuing his work despite personal risk, according to Al Jazeera.
The US-Mexico border region has long been a site of search-and-rescue operations, with volunteer groups often working to locate migrants who go missing while attempting to cross remote and hazardous desert terrain.
Al Jazeera's description did not provide additional details on the outcome of the specific search featured in the documentary or the identity of the missing person.
Search-and-rescue volunteers in the borderlands frequently operate independently of government agencies, relying on local knowledge of the terrain to locate people in distress.
