Crossings is a medium-length documentary that addresses the way in which migrant children and adolescents make sense of an experience they did not choose. Located in Chile, in their school space, they recall a journey full of challenges: the grief of leaving their homeland, the fear, loneliness and discrimination. At the same time, it shows how they have been able to adapt, what experiences have helped them and what they have learned. In this choral narrative, students of different ages reconstruct the memory of their longed-for home, while dreaming, playing and adapting to a foreign land. This documentary tries to bring a fresh and humane look at involuntary migration due to economic, political and humanitarian crises.
