Imagine sitting across from Alejandra in a low-security Mexican prison—she’s serving the final year of a 13-year sentence for snatching a newborn. At 17, desperate to give her husband a son after multiple miscarriages, she faked a pregnancy, struck a deal with a single mom who didn’t want her baby, and snuck the newborn out of the hospital in an oversized gift bag. Arrested hours later, the baby was returned. A director spent two years crafting a true crime doc about her story that makes you rethink desperation and motherhood.
