"From the other side / De l'autre cote'" by Chantal Akerman
sintesi del comunicato stampa
Sometimes poor people, in an attempt to survive, risk their lives and leave everything behind to live elsewhere. But they're not wanted elsewhere. And if they are wanted it's for their labor, to do jobs that no one wants to do. In the film, elsewhere is the United States and the poor are mostly Mexicans. The renowned filmmaker shifts her focus between the border towns of Agua Prieta, Sonora, where people from all over Mexico wait in limbo before crossing over, and neighboring Douglas, Arizona, a town ringed by mountains and desert plains.
