Abstract

Triqui are Indigenous people from the Mexican state of Oaxaca, and the film is trilingual in Triqui, Spanish, and English, as are the filmmakers. Therefore, Holmes brought in consultant filmmaker Yolanda Cruz, animator Jesus Ibarri Rosales, and graphic designer Tlacolulokos to add a high-quality aesthetic to the film. Ashley's mother and some of her neighbors remain undocumented, and their fear of the Trump administration's deportation activities through ICE motivates them to seek legal aid and prepare documents that would allow Ashley to be the legal guardian of her siblings should her mother be deported.
