Mexico: The other side of the wall (video)


A teenage brother and sister take on the responsibility of raising their young siblings when their mother is imprisoned.



When their mother is sentenced to 10 years in a Mexican prison on questionable charges, teenagers Rocio and Ale are left with no choice but to play the role of mother and father to their two younger siblings, David and Yami. 
As Honduran immigrants living in Mexico, they lack work papers, making opportunities for employment scarce.
While 18-year old Ale tries his best to make rational decisions for the good of the family, the pressure mounts. Finances are tight, his girlfriend is expecting and his 13-year old sister Rocio is testing her teenage boundaries, wanting less responsibility and more freedom. Fearing she may get herself into trouble, Ale clamps down and tensions between them escalate.
