TRAILER
This short documentary is my senior thesis. I told the story of my mother and grandmother, who both immigrated to the United States to escape the violence in El Salvador. I grew up hearing these stories, and the knowledge of my mother's shattered homeland was just another fact of life. It didn't make sense to me that no one else knew about this piece of history that affected so many people, myself included. That was the motivation behind creating this film.
It took a little over a year to complete this film. I fulfilled all roles from director to editor. I had help along the way, of course, but for the most part it was me working away in a private editing suite.
