Of the 10 selected films, which span across several genres, four of them are powerful documentaries that capture raw emotions of undocumented immigrants, aspiring legislators, an iconic TV mystic and a legendary Argentinean-Brazilian filmmaker. The latter was chosen by Brazil to represent it in the upcoming race for Best International Film at the Academy Awards.
