'Five Years North' premiering at Full Frame Documentary Film Festival

Though the 23rd Annual Full Frame Documentary Film Festival was cancelled due to safety and health concerns from COVID-19, our latest documentary Five Years North was amongst 8 films set to premiere at the event. This short documentary directed by Chris Temple and Zach Ingrasci is the coming-of-age story of Luis, an undocumented boy in New York City desperate to bring the American Dream back home to Guatemala. Alone, he struggles to work, study, and evade Judy—the Cuban-American ICE agent who patrols his neighborhood.

“While we are deeply disappointed that we will not have the opportunity to showcase this work in Durham and welcome these filmmakers for the four-day festival, in light of the circumstances, it felt especially vital to champion these films.”

— Sadie Tillery, FFDFF artistic director
