ShadowLight's 2009 shadow play, Ghosts of the River, written by Octavio Sols̕, directed by Larry Reed, with art directions by Favianna Rodriguez and original music by Do︢ Cascada de Flores. The play humanized contentious subjects surrounding immigration and the U.S.-Mexico border by illuminating stories of those who have crossed the Rio Grande throughout time. Going behind the scenes and beyond, the film reveals Sols̕ experience growing up on the border and some cast members' first-hand accounts crossing it. Through the poetic lens of Reed's collaborative, "live animated" shadow medium, Ghosts breaks through stereotypes and breaks down the invisible walls some use to treat migrants as "other."
