LA EMPRESA, DE 2023, André Siegers

In search of a story, a German film crew ends up in El Alberto,
Mexico. The village has become famous for the Caminata Nocturna –
an attraction that re-enacts illegal border crossings to the USA
and is based on the experiences of the locals. This keenly
nuanced essay film grapples with the possibilities and limits of
cinematic representation.
