Un pasaje de Ida

Based on the reality of the illegal trips, this film takes a real fact occurred in 1980 when several Dominicans passed away asphyxiated within a container of the boat Regina Express. Agliberto provides a dramatic passage with the absolute guarantee to take the control from a strong and human history. In spite of the technical deficiencies, the work of the camera made by Peyi Guzmán focuses a surrealistic style to equip to the image with that veracity and significance in the film language. A nourished group of Dominican actors is put under the scrutiny of a public who saw reflected in the screen all his fears to open a stage important in the persistence to make some kind of national cinema. Agliberto next to Danilo Taveras and Adelso Cass composes history of the Regina like a realistic fable of the Dominican one without doors that to open. Without structuring a thematic line in the Dominican films "One Way Ticket" determined the tone of the marginality like a constant in the Dominican cinema. This films had a cost approximated to the 420.000 pesos and the recovery of the investment was slow since the market in that then ones were not prepared to receive a creole product.

Although there were previous attempts to produce movies in the Dominican Republic, this is the one that made that dream come true. This is the first movie completely made by dominicans and this movie open the minds of independent dominican film makers. Even now the country's film industry is in it's beginnings and some good films have been made but, definitively, this is the best dominican movie ever done.

Based on a true story, this movie recreate the death of tens of men and women while they were trying to flee the country on a merchant boat running away from the realities of their poverty world. A world that is still there.

This is a tragic story of would be immigrants from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico. The ship's crew floods the holding tank in order to get rid of the evidence, in this case, human cargo who are attempting to enter Puerto Rico and then the United States without legal documentation. Half of the victims die when the encased area is flooded with water and the other half are rescued by the Dominican Republic customs agents. In the end you see actual film footage of a true event and you see a ladder placed along another ship with would be immigrants slipping on board to stow away. 50,000 of more Dominicans have lost their lives trying to cross the shark invested waters between their poor nation and Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. Unlike the Cuban refugees, these refugees are seldom given sanctuary. This film is a must see for those who care what happens to those poor people seeking a better life for their families.
