Border mechanisms that act on migrants are multiple. From shelter to shelter, boarding on trains, migrants aim up north across Mexico to reach the United States and Canada. During the U.S. election, migrants are more than aware that it could be their last chance to cross the border. In complete immersion, Destierros draws a path of reclusion. A path where time is still the longest road between two places.
"The migration between Mexico and its northern neighbor is an age-old topic, but this documentary shows a still recent context prior to the 2016 US presidential elections. With a very close camera, Destierros shows the anguish of migrants to cross before it's too late, but also a lot of solidarity amidst adversity."
