After receiving accolades at prestigious international festivals such as Hot Docs, Biarritz Amérique Latine, and DocsMx, the compelling documentary If You Are Going to Chile was showcased on a wall in Tijuana, at the border between Mexico and the United States. This event marked the opening of the inaugural edition of the Cinema Without Borders Festival, an international celebration that connects art, human rights, and cultural diplomacy, aimed at sparking conversations about migrating with dignity.

Written and directed by Amilcar Infante and Sebastián González Méndez, the film highlights the human aspect of the migrant crisis in northern Chile through the personal testimonies of the individuals involved.
