The Other Side of the Wall
A family's diary

An intimate documentary portrait of sibling resilience and fractured family bonds under the weight of immigration, poverty, and systemic injustice.
Honduran immigrants living in Mexico, teenage siblings Rocío and Ale must take over care of their two younger siblings after their mother is sentenced to prison on dubious grounds.
