About this film

Winner of top awards at a whopping 10 international film festivals (New Hampshire, Reykjavik, Sidewalk, Virginia, and Tacoma to name a few) and nominated for 7 more, AMÉRICA is the touching true story of Diego, a young circus performer, and his two brothers who come together to care for their ailing 93 year-old grandmother. Impeccably shot over a three year period, AMÉRICA is a sensitively wrought and tenderly poignant portrait of the complex dynamics inherent in an intergenerational family.
