Update on the Migraciones project that the Emily Sandall Foundation has funded with immigrant children in Santa Fe. It’s been spectacular! Even better than we had expected.
A dozen kids who live in the Triangle district of Santa Fe, one of the city’s poorest, immigrant neighborhoods, have come together to use film to tell the stories that matter to them. At 5-10 years old, the story elements that matter to them involve lost boys and orcs and talking ducks and beavers, but the movie shows their worries about migration and social displacement. The plot begins with a boy walking through the woods; he is fascinated by a hole in the ground, which suddenly swallows him up and takes him into another world, where he faces terrible creature who want to kill him, but also finds unexpected friends. It’s the story of migration, told by the fantasy-loving eyes of a ten year old.
The film will premiere in the Triangle District Resource Center in Santa Fe in Late May.
