Like anywhere in the world, there are so many different sides of Mexico. You can feel the pain and heartache that Mexico is going through, but you can also feel the beauty of people shared experiences. People from everywhere can connect with the story." - Adriana Paz, actor."It has to do with identity and freedom.
