2 out of 5 stars Not satisfying   June 9, 2008

Though unrated, it would not be worse than PG-13. There are stories of 3 children who want to leave their countries to go another. Each encounters serious problems, and learn that "the other side" is not necessarily a good place to go. Three different accents: Mexico, Cuba, Spain. There is no real culmination, or tying together of the three stories, so in that way you are left hanging, but it could be used in an AP class as a springboard for discussion.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect for the classroom or the family room   April 8, 2008

This is a poignant, artistic and insightful movie perfect for Spanish classes for a lot of it is in Spanish, but for other classrooms as well. It delves into the lives of three young children whose fathers have left their countries in search of work or better opportunities and in a candid way shows the pain and desolation of those left behind. It also depicts the lengths that a child will go to in order to be reunited with his/her father.
Sad, but realistically beautiful!



5 out of 5 stars Subtle and very well done   December 24, 2007

In these days of demonizing outsiders, this beautifully crafted film reminds the viewer that, at the bottom of it all, we are all human beings with the same hopes, fears, needs and desires. I wish this film were required viewing for anyone before they offer their opinion on any aspect of the immigration debate.

This was a beautifully and artistically done movie on a very current and important topic. It is objective and thought provoking. The acting and on site filming is superb. I caution parents with young children to screen it before showing it. It has some very strong content. The images and situations haunt you for days.
