Sansón and Me

Movie
2023
1h 23m
Spanish
Documentary
Borders have defined Sansón’s life. There’s the physical and psychological border between Mexico and the US. And now, looking at a life behind bars, there’s the one that separates him from his loved ones. Since it is forbidden to film inside the jail, Reyes recreates Sansón’s life – with the help of his family – through letters and by casting an untrained actor to play his friend. The resulting film is a reflection on migration, the notion of family, what it means to see one’s life on film, and the harshness and injustice of the US prison system.

[Sheffield/Doc '22] Splendid metacinema in which, as in "499", Rodrigo Reyes delights in the narrative layers that mix reality and fiction. At the same time he intelligently confronts issues such as systemic violence or the macabre ins and outs of the sense of justice. But Samson's story is also full of ambiguities, which poses an interesting reflection of a reality that does not dogmatize, of a truth with nuances.
