Hundreds of thousands of undocumented Americans are deported from the United States to "their country of origin" every year. What happens to these "non-citizens" after they return to a country they barely know? The short documentary Los Otros profiles three such undocumented individuals as they rebuild their lives in Mexico City. Separated from family and starting all over with nothing, they attempt to forge new lives in the shadow of a broken immigration system and a country not prepared for their return.

Mountain Wool

Documentary Short
View all films tagged "Documentary Short"

Every Spring, men and their teams of dogs head into the New Zealand high-country to muster up thousands upon thousands of sheep and bring them down-valley to shear them and bring their wool to market. The task is not for the faint of hearted and can only be completed on foot with a hill-stick in one hand, a pack of dogs at your command and the land stretching out before you. This task has been repeated year in and year out, every season, in an unbroken chain since the first sheep were brought to New Zealand in the late 18th century. Generation upon generation have taken to the hills to complete the task at hand but the numbers are dwindling - both the sheep that are raised and the men that look after them. Mountain Wool tries to tell the story of one high-country station (ranch) - Lochaber - nestled in the Mackenzie range down in the Southern Alps of New Zealand and the men that work the land. There is unimaginable beauty in these parts and there is a certain timelessness and stoicism to the work that refreshingly, still remains. As grand as the landscape may be and for the thousands of sheep in this one valley, this is but a small window into a massive global industry. This is the first link in the chain, the first cog in the wheel - men working the land as they always have to bring the wool to market.

A traffic separating device is installed in the middle of Stockholm. It is supposed to keep normal cars away and only let buses pass. It turns into a disaster as normal cars continue to go there and hundreds of cars get destroyed every week. Tragic and funny situations occur and we follow the whole mess of human failures.

A park in the fog. Crows flap and caw in the sky. A homeless man sleeps between the trees. Now and then a crow is shot: as a 

deterrent. The crows rally after every shot. A woman disappears. The police gather evidence. What is really going on? Are reality and imagination slowly blurring?
