PROJECT DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Years of Fierro tells the story of C\u00e9sar Fierro, the oldest Mexican prisoner on death row in the United States. C\u00e9sar has waited for an execution date for more than 30 years, always insisting that he is innocent. This documentary is a reflection on justice, imprisonment and brotherly love, through the eyes of C\u00e9sar and his brother, Sergio. These two brothers hope to meet again, no matter the time or the distance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner padding_top_multiplier=”2x”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/12″ animation=”fade-in” grve_css=”{“desktop“:{“margin-top“:“-25px“,“margin-left“:“-25px“,“class“:“grve-wpb-1744838676618“},“mobile_landscape“:{“margin-top“:“30px“}}”]

It was never easy to find the funding. The Alter-Cin\u00e9 grant was at once the push that let me complete the film, as well as a moral shot in the arm, attentive and enthusiastic. The Foundation gave me the freedom to find the best way forward, with good observations during editing.<\/p>\n

At one particular moment, when the process was complicated, a Foundation member sent me an email: Don\u2019t be discouraged. A film is almost always a tough nut to crack! The good thing is that, when we arrive at the end, we forget all the problems we faced. That person was right. I thank the Foundation for helping me reach the end of this film[\/vc_column_text]
