El Pasaje (The Ticket) I 13 min I New York

As a result of the socioeconomic crisis that Puerto Rico faces, the country has suffered the greatest exodus of its history. Jesus, a young man from Mayagüez, tries to survive in the streets of "El Barrio" in New York, but the city swallows him up. Without money or a home, he wanders through the metropolis wishing for a plane ticket back to his Island. This short debuted in the Festival del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano in Havana, Cuba.

Filmed at Toñitas Caribbean Social Club in Brooklyn, NY
