## Description

Daily, thousands of primarily poor and young indigenous Mexicans abandon their native homes. They start voyages to the first world in search of jobs and the hope of a brighter future - or, any economic future at all. In their wake, they leave behind the hollow footprints of a cultural and domestic abandonment. 2,501 Migrants: A Journey illustrates this through the story of Alejandro Aantiago, a middle-aged artist and family man from Oaxaca, Mexico. relatively affluent and erudite, Alejandro returns home after a brief self-exile in France. But upon arrival to his native Teococuilco, he is struck by what he perceives as a virtual ghost town. Alejandro experiences, first hand, the reality that Oaxaca has emerged as one of Mexico's leading exporters of human labor to the united states. Inspired by this, he decides to create a monumental installation art piece: 2,501 life-size sculptures - an homage to each individual migrant who left his village. Filmmaker and native Oaxacan, Yolanda Cruz, explores the questions of art and an indigenous community in the context of global migration and how that impacts the roots and livelihood of a small village. Alejandro's quiet demeanor and passion for art is celebrated and captured as respectfully and beautifully as each individual sculpture. His passion and his knowledge is shared with those who have stayed behind. They've dedicated their lives to this installation in honor of their small Oaxacan town. Special Features: Additional Interviews, Deleted Scenes, Slide Show, Trailers

Review: Artist producing incredible life size clay sculptures for 2501 Migrants - Yolanda Cruz the director is fabulous. I loved the setting, the people interviewed and the story of the 2501 clay sculptures. Mr Santiago, the artist, is brilliant yet very humble. This is a 5 star movie.
Review: Enjoyable - Kept my interest. Watched for a class at my college. Alejandro and the workers were very passionate, would be a good exhibit to see.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The story of migrants told in art and a splendid film.
*by A***E on November 17, 2019*

An intimate view of the effect of migration on the community left behind; the work of a superbly talented artist who wanted to tell the story of the members of his community who had left and in the process trained and employed a whole cadre of youth who were without means or careers. Beautifully and sensitively filmed. I use it in my college classes to show the real and human side of migration and the power of art to tell that story.
