From the film El Norte, Rosa and Enrique experience the story of an immigrant in search for a better life and overcoming cultural differences. In our movie one of our scenes is Rosa and Enrique talking about fleeing Guatemala. Enrique says that the Guatemalan army wants them dead. This scene relates to the theme of belonging as Enrique and Rosa are not welcomed in their own country. As a result, they go to the United States, but they also go through hard times as they interact with people who do not make them feel welcomed. They are in a journey to find a place where they belong. This scene was created because it was an important part of the film. Without it we not have known why Rosa and Enrique leave Guatemala. For this scene we added information about the Guatemalan Army from the readings and power points. We basically did a remake of the scene but added more information about the Guatemalan Army.
