FIVE YEARS NORTH

Five Years North is the coming-of-age story of Luis, an undocumented Guatemalan boy who forged his way to New York City in order to support his stuggling family back home. While Luis balances school, work, and his mental health, Judy, a veteran ICE officer and first-generation Cuban immigrant, navigates new immigration priorities. Winner of the grand Jury Prize at DOC NYC and a finalist for the Columbia-Dupont Award, this observational documentary offers a fresh and valuable entry point to understanding America’s immigration system and its human cost on all sides. I served as the director of photography for the final year of production.
