Dos Vatos Palabras

A group of 11th graders in France had this to say about BEYOND THE BORDER

• We learned a lot about how the Mexicans live and their integration in the US.

• Seeing the dirty jobs the Mexicans do helps us understand what they go through.  When we read about their plight, we don’t really understand. Seeing helped a lot.  In Europe we often complain about how hard life is, but we didn’t see the Mexicans complaining about their jobs. We find the Mexicans admirable because they are prepared to work very hard to help their families.

• The close up shots and interviews bring us closer to make us feel closer to the family.

• It’s a very touching film.

• We get the feeling of their hard ships; both physical and emotional.

• The Mexican immigrants seem close knit and helpful to each other.

• I really enjoyed it, I think the music added to the melancholy, and I appreciated the dignity with which the story was told.

• A great teaching tool!

Gracias, Thank You, and Merci!
