One of the reasons this documentary is so strong is that the filmmakers let Mr. Aranza and his sons speak for themselves. In this way, they are heard, which stands in stark contrast to their daily life: not heard, often not seen, even looked down upon in their own community because he is a single father. Such a powerful story, and just a small but telling glimpse into what many immigrants have to face in their quest for a better life in the U.S. A moving, relevant portrayal.
