Director Emily Cohen Ibáñez documents life guided by the spirit world through her hardships and joys in modern America. Rotten Tomatoes rating of 100%.
"It's not surprising that Oakland-born director Ibañez of Colombian heritage has a history in anthropology. She shows an obvious flare in observing the Solis family, sometimes in uncomfortable close-up." - Glenn Dunks, The Film Experience
