La Jaula de Oro
(The Cage of Gold/ The Golden Dream)
is a 2013 Mexican feature film directed by Diego Quemada-Díez. The film
features an ensemble cast of Central American, young, undocumented immigrants
fleeing Guatemala, and who make their way to the United States in a harrowing
fashion by foot and by “la bestia,” the train that snakes its way to the
border, with immigrants clinging to it at great peril. This is a timely film,
made with great skill and narrative power. After the film, a moderated discussion with La Jaula producer, Luis Salinas, will take place.
