Divided Lives

This documentary highlights the journeys of indigenous women who migrate to the Mexico-United States border, driven by the hope of finding work and improving their circumstances for themselves and their children. It addresses the ongoing trend of migration from Oaxaca, a state in Mexico, which has seen 10,000 individuals migrate to the U.S. annually since 1946.

The film gives voice to both those women who make the journey and those who remain in Oaxaca, emphasizing their stories which often go unheard. "Divided Lives" offers important insights into the cultural and social dynamics surrounding migration, particularly from the perspective of women, making it a significant addition for those interested in documentary filmmaking and social issues.
