All of Me

The documentary is set in a small town in Veracruz. The town is called Guadalupe La Patrona. A freight train passes through it. The train is nicknamed the Beast. Migrants from Central America ride on it. What they are aiming at is the American border. The journey is long and dangerous. Women in the town have cooked every day since 1995. They put the food into bags and go down to the side of the tracks. As the train passes they hold the bags up. The work has gone on for years without a break. The women are known as Las Patronas. The film came out of more than three years of shooting. Their own homes and troubles are part of the story too. The ninety minute documentary took a prize at Los Cabos in 2014, a Mexican production Arturo González Villaseñor finished that year.
