Plot
Rutas and Roots is a short documentary that connects the journeys of two families: a Venezuelan family immigrating to the U.S. and an American family whose pioneer ancestors traveled west over a century ago. Both endured heartbreaking loss, sacrificing for a better future. Through personal stories and recreated scenes, the film reveals the cost of migration, the resilience that drives people to start anew, and the impact it has on their descendants.
