Un hombre curtido, empu\u00f1ando un rifle, le ordena a su ayudante que lance una soga hacia una rama de \u00e1rbol muy usada.

El Paso fue un escenario donde el equilibrio entre la seguridad y la misericordia pareci\u00f3 fluctuar, incluso d\u00eda a d\u00eda. Yo vivo en Tucson. La inmigraci\u00f3n ha sido parte de la vida diaria durante cientos de a\u00f1os. La vitalidad y la riqueza de otras culturas cobran vida en los barrios urbanos, as\u00ed como en la comunidad del sur de Tucson. Sin embargo, muchos en Tucson luchan por comprender, y mucho menos aceptar, a quienes provienen de lugares, idiomas y tradiciones diferentes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quiz\u00e1s las fronteras en nuestra mente son las que m\u00e1s impacto tienen. Nos incitan a actuar bas\u00e1ndonos en el mismo tipo de ideas mal formadas que Ezekiel, un antiguo esclavo, trae a la horca de Manuel en la pel\u00edcula. Cuando el poder y el control est\u00e1n en juego, las suposiciones reemplazan los hechos. La violencia resultante es una forma de ejercer control mucho antes, durante y mucho despu\u00e9s de los d\u00edas de la frontera en el Suroeste de Estados Unidos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La creaci\u00f3n de Truth Be Told cristaliz\u00f3 mi experiencia en la regi\u00f3n de El Paso. Tambi\u00e9n tuve en cuenta mi trabajo anterior con USAID como formadora en desarrollo econ\u00f3mico y trabajadora de campo en Tabasco. En Tabasco, al igual que durante mi experiencia fronteriza, la importancia de hacer buenas preguntas se destac\u00f3 enormemente.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aunque cada pregunta merec\u00eda atenci\u00f3n especial, el \u201cqui\u00e9n\u201d, \u201cpor qu\u00e9\u201d, \u201cc\u00f3mo\u201d, \u201cd\u00f3nde\u201d y \u201ccu\u00e1ndo\u201d parec\u00edan desdibujarse. Responder estas preguntas fundamentales con lo f\u00e1cil, obvio o esperado compromete nuestra claridad y desv\u00eda nuestra compasi\u00f3n. Simplificar en exceso tambi\u00e9n es el camino a malas decisiones, consecuencias graves y la probable destrucci\u00f3n de familias y comunidades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No toda visita a la frontera ni experiencia en el Abara necesita convertirse en una pel\u00edcula, ni siquiera un ensayo. Una grieta en la frontera de la mente es un buen comienzo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nota de los autores: La verdad es que (PG-13) est\u00e1 disponible para ver en l\u00ednea sin costo en <a href=\"https:\/\/TruthBeToldFilm.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TruthBeToldFilm.com<\/a>.
