A school called America [ALPACA] - Subtitle english

Joaquín, Deyna, Ricardo and Dilan are children that have something in common. Although they were born in different countries, they all live in the city of Arica and study in a public primary school with a large number of immigrant students. A choral narrative that covers their experiences around migrating and growing up in Chile, immerses us in the complexities of migration from a candid, transparent, direct and simple point of view, typical of childhood. They tell us about the challenges and obstacles they have faced, as well as about their hopes and the opportunities that have opened to them in a politically troubled Chile. While together with their families they walk us through their biographies, they reflect on their lives and the future they want to build.
