This project was born with academic purposes the last february in Chicago.
The main goal was to document Pilsen and its social landscape. As soon as I arrived here I immediately perceived the soul of this neighborhood. Firstly I thought to describe it all through more voices, but as soon I met Marcos Raya I realized that the documentary would have been narrated with one voice only.
The main goal it's to describe not only Pilsen, but all the topics related to this place, through the eye of an artist.
