Description

Honourable Mention—Best International Short Documentary Award

As daylight breaks between the border cities of El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico, undocumented migrants and their relatives, divided by a wall, prepare to participate in an activist event. For three minutes, they'll embrace in no man's land for the briefest and sweetest of reunions. Eileen Arandiga
