La Pared Humana: the Human Wall (2016)

A short film that reflects a day if Donald Trump were to be the President of the United States. The story follows an undocumented family, throughout the story we see how the new immigration laws break them apart. As conflict appears in the film, a wall of people appear in the background, representing the human wall. The wall is formed by different people from the Hispanic community with different occupations; teachers, students, jornaleros, lawyers , etc. As the story moves forward, we cut to see what other people around the community are also being affected by this new order. At the end of the film, the wall of people direct a message to the viewers, about the importance of voting. The short took two months of pre-production and we only had 3 days to shoot it, due to everyone schedule. The community, actors, crew everyone came together to try and make this short possible, so that they can speak up for those who can't, so that they can motivate others to vote and make a difference. It is a very low budget film, but it carries a big heart, in hopes of a better future.
