La opción cero (2020) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2020, La opción cero is a documentaire film directed by Marcel Beltrán, running about 80 minutes.

What it’s about. There are countless stories of Cubans reaching their dream destination of Florida as boat refugees. A lesser known route to the United States starts with a flight in a ramshackle plane to Guyana. Then the refugees travel to Colombia where they cross the jungle to arrive in Central America, from where they hope to reach the promised land of America—a hard and dangerous journey. Cuban filmmaker Marcel Beltrán visits them in a refugee camp in Panama, where one of the residents gives him an idea. Many people here have filmed their journey, she says, and these videos tell their real story. These jerky, shocking videos are interspersed with Beltrán’s footage of the camp, tangibly illustrating the difference between the hectic pace of the journey and the insecure life at the reception center.

How it landed. With an audience score of 9.0/10, La opción cero sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
