The Sky Is Very Pretty

A shelter in southern Mexico offers a safe space for migrant and refugee women and girls. Their experience of migration is marked by different viewpoints and the diverse implications it carries for their lives. 'The Sky Is Very Pretty' explores the contrast between the fear of an uncertain future, the desires of a mother and the joy and dreams of her daughters.
