Question

After reading my classmates' posts, I’m interested in watching "The Wall: Short Documentaries on the Undocumented Immigration Crisis" (2019). This series examines the human impact of immigration policies and the experiences of undocumented immigrants. I’d like to watch it because, like "El Canto del Colibri," it deals with critical social issues and personal stories within the Latino community, providing insights into the struggles and resilience of people impacted by challenging circumstances.

what can I reply to this ?

Answer 1

You could respond with something like this:

"That sounds like a great choice! I've heard that 'The Wall' really highlights the individual stories behind the headlines, and it’s important to see the human side of immigration policies. Just like 'El Canto del Colibri,' it seems to focus on personal narratives that can evoke empathy and understanding. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on how the themes of identity and community are addressed in 'The Wall.' It sounds like both films offer valuable perspectives on important social issues within the Latino community."
