The Alien and the Border Guard

Metanoia–A transformational change in one’s way of life. A change resulting from repentance and spiritual awareness.

Inspired by the U.S./Mexico border situation, this short film is about struggle and transformation; it is about understanding and accepting the other. A non-traditional love story about discovering one’s authentic self. How can we love another, until we first learn to love ourself? It is the story of how love can blossom within devastating apocalyptic times or our current times, when there is no longer THE OTHER, but unconditional love that is based in respect and the acceptance of differences.
