Trails is a documentary film shot throughout the state of New Mexico, in El Paso, Texas, and across the New Mexico/Mexico border. The film examines the connection between migration and mental health and features reflections, wisdom, and real experiences from folks directly impacted by migration, such as those who have migrated themselves — youth and adults — shelter providers, immigration law experts, behavioral health providers, and culture bearers. This film is dedicated to all migrants, immigrants, refugees, asylees, or anyone else crossing borders simply to live their lives.
In 2021, we kicked off one off a new film initiative, the Mosaic Lab, that attempted to address the connection between intimate partner violence and HIV transmission by working with young men to promote healthy masculinity among their peers. Nine young men from the Greater New Orleans area between the ages of 14 and 21 participated in the 6-month long fellowship, where we held individual discussions with them about gender and masculinity to create this short film.
