Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sansón and Me about? Toggle content

In "Sansón and Me," a documentary filmmaker explores the life of a man who has been impacted by various borders throughout his life – the physical and psychological border between Mexico and the US – and now, the one that separates him from his loved ones as he faces life behind bars. To tell Sansón's story, the filmmaker uses a unique approach, casting an untrained actor to play Sansón's friend and incorporating letters from his family to create a powerful reflection on migration, family, and the harsh realities of the US prison system.
