La Jaula de Oro
WINNER BEST NARRATIVE FILM 2014 San Antonio CineFestival
INCLUDES SEATING AT THE PREMIO MESQUITE AWARD CEREMONY.
Diego Quemada-Díez, Mexico, 2013, 108 min. Winner of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival's prestigious A Certain Regard Award
Three young Guatemalan teens set off alone to seek a better life in the United States, picking up along the way a Tzotzil indian boy their own age. Facing bandits, corrupt police, kidnappings, and possible death, the travelers hop on a train for their dangerous thousand mile plus journey north. For U.S. audiences used to pat endings, road trips where lessons are learned, and conventional Hollywood storytelling, La Jaula de Oro instead tells an unsettling story of the consequences faced by the migrants we see here everyday. This is naturalistic, raw, and powerfully unsentimental filmmaking from one of Mexico's group of rising new young directors. Winner of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival's prestigious A Certain Regard Award, the film features an accomplished ensemble performance from the four young actors.
