Production house: Tierra Narrative
Director: Keni Guillen


Isabel is a Salvi (Salvadoran) diasporic narrative imagined and written to honor our experiences within the diaspora in New York. The story is an intimate time spent with Isabel, a young Salvadoran girl who recently moved to the suburbs of New York to reunite with her mother Aracely. Inspired by her own migration as a kid, the director created Isabel to represent the thousands of unaccompanied minors that have relocated to Long Island in the past few decades.
