THROUGH THE WALL

A short documentary about a family divided by the US/Mexico border.

Abril and her 2 year old boy Julián are living undocumented in America. Julián's father Uriel was stopped by police for a minor traffic ticket and was deported back to Mexico, where he now lives. In order to see each other, Uriel, Abril and Julián must cross difficult terrain to reach the border fence where they spend time together through the wall.
