Join Israel Montes Jr, along with his parents and four siblings as they journey 3,000 miles from Elk Grove, California to his parent's hometown in Chihuahua, Mexico. Israel is 42-years old, with no previous experience in storytelling, but after they load up into the cramped excursion nicknamed 'Big Red' he feels something special is about to unfold. He scrambles to find a pen and paper to write with as he bears witness to his Mexican American family trip of a lifetime together. Along the way there are countless stories and laughter, and a growing sense of awe and pride as Israel admires and reflects on how important family is in his life.

Over sixteen years have passed since their 2007 memorable road trip. With the passing of his father in 2021, Israel knew it was time to turn those fading notes tucked away into a story to share with others. El Big Red Adventure is not only a tribute to his Mexican culture and heritage, but a testament to the bond that holds families together through thick and thin.
