Movie Screening and Director Q+A of Sansón and Me
Former court interpreter turned film director, Rodrigo Reyes is inspired to make a documentary about Sansón, an immigrant serving life for first-degree murder, but authorities won’t allow the incarcerated young man to be filmed. In light of this, Sansón’s story is shared through dramatic reenactments of his letters, using members of his own family as actors. It is a rare, insightful look into the workings of our crimmigration system and the relationship between a defendant and his interpreter. Sansón and Me – About the Film
