Reflecting on Wetback

While watching Wetback, I thought it was really important that someone had produced this film. There are so many people that don’t understand how hard the lives of immigrants are, and this movie is a chance to learn. I think that the two characters in the movie, Nayo and Milton, were much like Nadira and Aisha. Nayo is very self-confidant, brave, and strong, much like Aisha. He doesn’t seem scared, and he says he’s just focused on getting to Canada. Milton, on the other hand, is very worried about the trip. In one part of the film he said he was bored, sick, tired, and he missed his family. He had called his mother and she begged him to come back, but he said he had to finish his mission. He reminded me of Nadira because he seemed more emotional than Nayo. He was nervous about the future, and he wanted to help but wasn’t sure that he could make it, just like Nadira. I think that the story in Ask Me No Questions reflected the movie because they both are trying to find a better life in Canada, and they have to cross the border without getting caught.
