Director Statement

Similar to how we portrayed that many miracles happened within this story, this film is an embodiment of all those miracles. Without them, this film would not exist.

- Juan Martinez, Director, “Sombras Del Pasado”

As a child, I loved my parents and imagined them as superheroes. As I get older, I see them getting older. I think about them as more ordinary people with extraordinary capabilities, especially now that I understand they are also humans. The documentary, I hope, will help illuminate the seemingly everyday yet uncommon nature of my parents.
