- The Guardian

SYNOPSIS: Iuring his day job as a Spanish criminal interpreter in a small town in California, filmmaker Rodrigo Reyes (499) met a young man named Sanso´n, an undocumented Mexican immigrant who was sentenced to life in prison without parole. With no permission to interview him, Sanso´n and Reyes worked together over a decade, using hundreds of letters as inspiration for re- creations of Sanso´n’s childhood—featuring members of Sanso´n's own family. The result is a vibrant portrait of a friendship navigating immigration and the depths of the criminal justice system and pushing the boundaries of cinematic imagination to rescue a young migrant's story from oblivion..
