I m afraid. I hope to God they won t catch and deport me. Optimist Films has released a trailer for the documentary Five Years North, which originally premiered at last year s Full Frame Film Festival. It also played at last year s San Antonio Film Festival; the film opens first at the Film Forum cinema in NYC at the end of this month. Five Years North is the coming-of-age story of Luis, an undocumented Guatemalan boy who just arrived alone in New York City. He struggles to work, study, and evade Judy - the Cuban-American ICE officer patrolling his neighborhood. The directors say they didn’‬t set out to make an immigration film‭, but after meeting Luis while working on another project, and followed him as he made his way up to NYC. It also took a while for them to get approval to film ICE. And the result is this moving film showing both sides.
