Hope this turns into a full-length feature film. Touching, honest, and real. The story flows fluently and gracefully. Really captures the true struggles of families with religious differences as well as families adjusting to a new culture and the changes that occur in their children. Especially interesting with so many heated debates in the media surrounding immigration. Religion aside, we need more films putting a face and a name on Mexican immigrants. Immagration aside, we need more films that have such a strong moral message or ANY moral message. I'm trying to think of something negative to say about the film to make my other remarks more credible, but I have nothing negative to say...beautiful and compelling film.
