Different groups and ethnic groups are violated every day in Central America by local mafias. As a result, many become refugees who ask for political asylum and UNHCR contributes to protecting them and giving them a voice. “With love from Central America” is a documentary that shows this problem through letters from these same refugees addressed to the world’s viewer who looks at their situation impassively in the face of the problem. Each letter is a window into the experiences and emotions of people who have left behind everything they know in search of safety and dignity.
The stories are moving and reveal the courage and resilience of those who face unimaginable adversities. Through their words, we can glimpse dashed hopes, dreams that still persist and a deep desire to be understood and accepted in new lands. The documentary not only exposes the difficulties and dangers faced by these refugees, but also celebrates their culture, their indomitable spirit and their ability to move forward despite everything.
Images and testimonies are intertwined to create a powerful narrative that invites empathy and action. “With Love from Central America” seeks to raise greater global awareness and commitment to support those who have been displaced from their homes. It is a call for solidarity and humanity, reminding us that behind every statistic there are faces, names and stories that deserve to be heard and respected.
