    • Filmed in both Venezuela and Brazil, “Aqui en la Frontera” accompanies three Venezuelans facing one of the greatest migratory crises in Latin American history. Stephanny, a young mother, must return to Venezuela to bring back food to her family and pick her daughter up, but her return does not go as planned.

Argenis organizes an informal settlement with over 300 migrants under threat of eviction.
