A new film featuring people from all over New Mexico is set to premier in New York City at the New York Latino Film Festival on September 18.
The film, titled "Across Together," follows a group made up of DACA recipients, Indigenous youth, Latines, and children of immigrants from New Mexico as they attempt to summit a volcano in Mexico named Citlaltépetl. It is the tallest volcano in North America.
According to a press release, the film “highlights the experiences of young people growing up in immigrant and Indigenous families” and takes the group to visit more cultures and areas in Mexico other than the volcano.
Elizabeth Cuna, Executive director of The Semilla Project, which created "Across Together," told the Bulletin that the film “is a testament to the courage, brilliance, and leadership of our young people here in New Mexico.
"Their climb wasn’t just about summiting a volcano in Mexico — it was about summiting the challenges that come with being children of immigrants, Indigenous, or undocumented, and showing the world what it means to rise together,” she said.
Isaac De Luna, one of the executive producers of the film, highlighted the importance that films like this have in today's world.
“I think that what we experience in modern societies is that there's a disconnection of not knowing really where we come from or not really knowing how our history impacts our present and our future. I think that's really the conversation that is happening in this movie,” De Luna said.
The film is set to premier in New Mexico in October.
