The world is increasingly more divided by walls. There are human beings on either side of them. Brilliant editing connects people living and working on different sides of decisive walls between Mexico/U.S., Spain/Morocco, Israel/Palestine and South Africa/Zimbabwe. A true cinematic experience not entering the geopolitical discussion. But exploring WALLS as a global issue.

"Every artifact that you find on the trail has a story to tell. A backpack, a shoe, a blanket (…). We don’t know what the story is. But it’s a story that should be told somehow. (…) Some believe that immigration is illegal. Some believe it is the right thing to do. I don’t care about those things. I just want to make sure that they don’t die out there." (Al Enciso, USA)
