DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Guillermo del Toro Mexico

His film 'The Shape of Water' and broader body of work explore themes of otherness and belonging, while his Mexican heritage deeply informs his visual storytelling about marginalized figures navigating hostile worlds.

 Hayao Miyazaki Japan

While not geographically focused on Mexico, his films consistently examine borders between worlds and the displacement of marginalized communities with poetic depth that resonates with border narratives.
