February 9, 2009CLAS Student Film Accepted to Guadalajara Film Festival
CLAS Graduate Student Luis Carlos Romero Davis' film "389 Miles" was accepted at the 2009 Guadalajara International Film Festival. Congratulations to Luis Carlos on this great accomplishment! He filmed the documentary as part of the first video-thesis for a graduate student in Latin American Studies.
"389 Miles" (the distance of the Arizona-Mexico Border) is the story of a human journey, as documented by director Luis Carlos Romero-Davis who grew up in the shadow of the Mexico-Arizona border in Nogales, AZ. It presents the raw, daily life of human beings
compromised economically, and the potential rewards for those who exploit them.
There is no purely good side or bad, only the steel wall or a strand of rusty
barbed wire and the complex web of human emotions and issues forged by
them—survival, human trafficking, rape, corruption, evil and grace in many
disguises.
