Immigration to the United States from across its southern border is a widely misunderstood topic because most people involved in it have polar stances and / or limited voices. Icebox is a beautiful film that brings to life the reality of so many thousands of people who have been voiceless for so long. This is the beginning of a Latino rights and immigrants rights movement, that most surely is being born and recognized as the seeds are planted today.
The topic of family, the motive of love- these are the reasons why people- adults, children, men, women- immigrate. Not because they want to, but many times because they have to.
In this film we see how the system is not designed to help-rather to exclude, to inconvenience, to scare and frighten.
Every time I watch this film, it inspires me and brings tears to my eyes.
