Two Rivers

Streaming video - 2020

Alejandro Jimenez fled Oaxaca, Mexico as a child and survived the desert to fight for a better life. As DACA policies and his status remain embattled in America, he trains tirelessly to embody the best of both his countries: his homeland, and the one he calls home. An inspirational knockout. TWO RIVERS celebrates the immigrant story in America, looking back at how Presidents of both parties have uplifted and disparaged these new arrivals; looking ahead at the best our country has to offer when we uplift our champions. Centered around Alejandro's relationship with his Coach, Puerto Rican-American Mark Roxey, the film provides an intimate and inspiring look at a surrogate father raising a son born to two worlds.
