Synopsis

PhotoDOC is a photo documentary project with an original format: short films based on the collaboration between a filmmaker and a photographer. For the three films in the EXODUS: Mass Migration and its Ripple Effect in the Americas, Italian photographer Nicolò Filippo Rosso talks to Spanish producer/director Jose Muniain about the work he has carried out over the past four years, traveling along the migratory routes that cross the American continent to document the distress and violence surrounding the exodus of the peoples of Latin America.

In this first chapter, Consumed by Grief, we accompany him to Comitancillo, Guatemala, where the funeral procession of a group of local migrants, killed by Mexican police while trying to reach the United States, is taking place. Their deaths, of unprecedented violence, served as a warning to all those trying to cross the border without paying the smugglers.

What you will find in this film

I don't think when I take a photo. I try to take the best one I can and connect with the people I meet, so that these encounters can lead me to understand their condition.

When I observe the chaos of certain situations, I try to order it by observing it through the rectangle of my lens. I try to bring order to something that apparently has none. This triggers deeper reflections in the viewer.
