Si Vas Para Chile (Unwelcomed)
A documentary by Sebastián González and Amílcar Infante
This Hot Docs film sadly reflects many migrants' journeys after being driven out of their countries due to violence, persecution, war, and disasters.
This film documents the price of desperation for people to leave a horrific situation for a better chance at life, but risking it all in the process.
In the past decade, 8 million Venezuelans have been driven out of Venezuela because of economic collapse. Families forced to flee through harsh desert conditions and risk their lives at the hands of angry communities who do not want more immigration for fear of losing jobs and resources, while also fearing some migrants' desperation to get whatever they need to survive.
It's a sad state when families with children are attacked in their pursuit to give their families a chance to be attacked, while the Police do nothing to stop the violence.
This is probably a hard watch if you are a family that has gone through a rough immigration to another country. The odds of making it are stacked against you.
This may help you look at the immigrants fleeing so many countries worldwide in a different light.
I believe a better plan is needed to support migrants who want to work and are forced to flee their home countries to survive. Violence is never the answer to make the world a better place for the children who will create the future.
