Audience Member This film shows the reality that many undocumented families go through. They are here for a better life, for their families, yet they are treated as criminals when their only crime is to seek for a better life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/19 Full Review Audience Member 120 Days helped me understand why there are Mexicans who come to the USA and want to stay there even illegally. I learned from this film that those Mexicans are humans who pursue education, opportunities, before they are immigrants. The shots in the film capture the real faces of the Cortes family, which made me realize how close relationship the producer built with the family. I hope 120 Days will be seen by many more people so that they can know what immigrants think about, and this is an issue not only in the US, but also in other countries in the world. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Ted Roach's documentary brings humanity to the immigration debate. Real choices face a very real family in this film that serves as a window on the world of undocumented men, women, children--families in America. Beautiful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic documentary. The story is very insightful and raises awareness so much that it's completely changed my position on the matter. It's a very compelling story. I'd love to see more similar subjects from this director Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A very touching and moving real life experience of families being torn apart with no possible happy outcome. This film captures the hardships and sacrifices that many Mexican families go through in the USA. A very heartfelt portrayal of this family, and extremely well produced and documented film!. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time! Great job bringing to light an issue that is so often swept under the rug in our society. What an honor it was to experience the love and compassion that Miguel and his family have for each other. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
