In the summer of 2019, young father Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his not quite two-year-old daughter, Angie Valeria, drowned in a river on the border between Mexico and Texas. With stunning visuals and through the eerie sounds of the desert, director Jon Ayon’s deeply poignant and often poetic short film brings the viewer into this unforgiving landscape and navigates the crucial terrain of immigration, trauma, and sorrow. Trekking to the place where Ramírez and his daughter passed away, Ayon, a young father himself, contemplates the land, border wall, Indigenous people, and the significance of enduring memory.  WFM
