About This Movie

Susana (2020) is a poignant documentary that immerses you into the complexities of immigration and animal welfare. The film’s atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, reflecting the weight of its subject matter. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of tension and reflection. Susana, the central figure, navigates the shadows of her past—returning to those slaughterhouses despite the palpable danger. It’s raw and unsanitized, showcasing not just the plight of the undocumented but also the silent suffering of the animals. The practical effects are minimal, relying instead on real-life emotions and stark visuals. It’s an exploration of resilience, both human and animal, that leaves you pondering the moral implications long after the credits roll.
