    From Nowhere was warmly received in its world premiere at Austin's SXSW Film Festival. It is a powerful film about the struggles facing three undocumented teenagers who are about to graduate from high school in the Bronx and are trying to seek political asylum. The script is well-written and the young actors do a great job. From my perspective the film creates a means for those who don't know much about the complex situations faced by undocumented immigrants to see their humanity. In a political climate where demagogic politicians are busy dehumanizing immigrants, it is important for the public to see them as individuals with families, personalities, and complicated individual struggles. I would love to see this film gain a wide release and, if not, I hope there are ways for it to be used in schools for educational purposes.

    I want to start by saying that I do not use to write reviews here. I am not that skilled and English isn't my first language and that does not help me either. Now back to the review. THIS IS AMAZING. I am perplexed by how little people voted. 92 as am I writing. This could have a chance to the Oscars maybe. The story is pretty sad and the feelings that this film offer leave a blank space in your heart. But that's not all, the angles and all the filming are very well done. The actors give a strong performance. Just go and see it!
