24 The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007, or Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007, was introduced in the 110th Congress during George Bush’s presidency.

27 “You have to lie and you have to walk, and you have to risk your life to cross and to come here. You have to put yourself in debt. You have to leave behind all your family, all the things you love, your house, your belongings, your pets, your children, your mother...” (translated by the author). The film provides English subtitles whenever a person speaks Spanish.

33 Feng and O’Halloran, “The multimodal representation of emotion in film,” 82. This process is used in numerous documentaries about the border, so much so that the former director of Cine Las Americas, the festival in Austin, has said that the festival was once referred to as a “tear-jerking film festival”.

36 In the spring of 2006, immigrant marches and demonstrations began as a response to HR4437 (Border Protection, Anti-Terrorism and Illegal Control Act of 2005), a bill passed by the House of Representatives in December 2005 (but not by the Senate) in order to reinforce border security, and raise penalties for undocumented immigrants and for those who helped them. In March, the “Gran Marcha” protest held in Los Angeles gathered 500,000 people. The demonstrations caused controversy because some participants (mostly students) waved Mexican flags, which was perceived as a sign of rebellion and invasion by anti-immigrant groups. Immigrants, on the other hand, argued that showing pride in your roots does not mean disloyalty to the United States.

44 Even years after the films were released, such statements are reminiscent of the rants about immigrants creating an unsafe and “dirtier” country, be it Donald Trump during his well-known presidential campaign speech in 2015 in which he associated all immigrants with “rapists” and “criminals,” or Tucker Carlson on Fox News in 2019.

49 Corridos are traditional Mexican songs that talk about real life experiences. In the documentary, Almada dwells on its cultural meaning in Mexico, especially the sub-category of the narco-corridos that celebrate the fame of certain drug dealers.
