Thanks to an undocumented friend, filmmaker Christopher Zalla got to meet and hang out with a bunch of workers at a Brooklyn restaurant, most of whom were Mexican.
“I got to hear a similar storyline coming from them,” says the 33-year old Zalla, whose “Sangre de Mi Sangre (Blood of My Blood),” winner of the Grand Jury Prize at last year’s Sundance Film Festival, opens Friday.
“Their plan was to work six or seven days a week, save money for 15 or 20 years, and then return home and retire relatively well off.””*
