Gracefully shot, Fandango at the Wall takes the viewer through a musical journey and offers a beautiful and inspiring view of the world.

This film touched the hallmark of everything that the world needs at this moment. The perspectives of humanity, art, barrier shattering, and cultural niches made for such a soul soothing film. The interconnectivity of a musician from New York with a librarian who spends time on both sides of the US/Mexico border who finds folkloric musicians in Veracruz, Mexico was told so beautifully and without agenda. Fandango at the Wall stands as a salient reminder that the US is an amalgamation of other nations, peoples, and lands. Bravo!!!! Feliz!!!

I love this documentary - it is moving, powerful, engaging, and inspiring. It really speaks to music being the universal language that unites us. It was a pleasure to watch and an even bigger pleasure to listen to the beautiful music throughout the film.

Absolutely incredible film. If I didn't have to work I would just watch this movie all day every day!

Fandango at the Wall has beautiful music and wonderful stories. My favorite son jarocho musicians are Tacho and Wendy. I would recommend everybody see this documentary. We are all connected.

If you want to watch a film about bridging unity and culture this is it!!!!

I am no film critic, and I don't normally take the time to review, but this one I had to review positively on. The story it conveys is one that is timeless and everchanging, the power that culture has, especially when you bring many different ones together. Music is a celebration and a weapon against the darkness of our world. This film was beautifully shot, crafted, and produced. It shares many messages of hope, peace, love, and open-mindedness. But it's true power comes from it's authenticity. Thank you for bringing this to the world. -Vincent Holbrook

LOVED THIS FILM. REALLY AN IMPORTANT TOPIC EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE.

Great movie, well shot, and very timely with all the division in the world right now. Worth the watch.

Beautiful and inspiring film. Wonderful music and artist. It's truly great to watch so many people from different backgrounds coming together as one! This film is definitely what we all need right now.

Great musicians and very inspiring project!! Hope this shows people that art can really unite people!! Highly recommend people to watch it!

This film peeks into the human experience, or lack of humanity) of the issues surrounding the border wall. Without overtly delving into the politics, this film humanizes through music and even more so the musicians featured in the film. It is impossible to come away from this film with a better understanding of how arbitrary border policies can be, especially in this era. That said, the music is phenomenal... you will also want to attend a Fandango after this!

The central journey, to the origins of this native music, and the feeling of unity and togetherness created while the artists are playing together is one of the most beautiful, honest, human expressions I've seen in a film; the art simply "moves through the walls" and speaks to every living thing's universal quest for the soul, AND equally to the hardships many people in the world face, and because of that what it means to be, and APPRECIATE being an American who embraces diversity and welcomes the traditions of others - the music is the real richness.

Fandango at the Wall is an amazing film. Very well shot, it captures well the feeling and interconnectivity that connects us all.

Bravo!

This film opens up a much need conversation, while going in depth into the world of son jarocho. A must watch!

This is a beautiful movie that can be watched again and again. To these artists, as they themselves say, music is more than just music, it is life. Well worth the watch!

Beautiful inspiring film and the highlight was definitely all of the great music from amazing artists who come from many diverse styles and backgrounds and interact, coming together to meet at the critical geographical point of the border wall between Tijuana and San Diego.

Fandango at the Wall is one of the best documentaries and so relevant for today. The beauty of the film unites people in song and dance on both sides of the Tijuana-San Diego border. Fandango at the Wall is an amazing film with music that enhances the story line. The true spirit of the film presents a vision of today's state of affairs. It's wonderful to see what could become a classic. The filmmakers have viewed the Fandango festival as a rich source of storytelling. Fandango at the Wall provides the opportunity for audiences to be exposed to stories different from their own with music that supports it.
