A 3 Minute Hug
Directed by Everardo González
Produced by No Ficción
A tender, heartbreaking documentary capturing a fleeting moment of human connection across a border wall, balancing profound warmth with the systemic separation that makes it necessary.
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.
