Y es aquí donde entra la directora mexicana Lucía Gajá, quien decide contar la historia de Rosa en su documental "Mi vida dentro" ("My Life Inside", su título en inglés). Nos comentó durante su presentación en el Festival de Tribeca: "Inicialmente quería hacer un documental acerca de mujeres mexicanas presas en Estados Unidos y después de toda la investigación, cuando finalmente conseguí dinero y permisos, y fui a Austin, tuve citas con varias mujeres en tres cárceles y entre ellas estaba Rosa. Yo no había leído nada de ella, pero al conocerla se me hizo muy interesante su caso".
"Tal vez sí hubo presunción de que era culpable desde un inicio. No hubo una mente realmente abierta para no condenarla inmediatamente. No podría decirte de irregularidades en sí dentro del juicio, porque están en la película, pero creo que sí tuvo que ver que era mexicana indocumentada, joven y que no sabía hablar inglés. Todas las cosas que pasan con los latinos que vienen a Estados Unidos sin conocer las reglas de este país".

Undated handout photo of boxer Kassim Ouma. What struck U.S. filmmaker Kief Davidson about Ugandan child soldier turned world champion boxer Kassim "The Dream" Ouma was that he was always smiling. Davidson became fascinated by how Ouma, kidnapped from school at age 6 by the rebel army of Yoweri Museveni -- who is now Uganda's president -- dealt with his nightmare past. More than two years after first seeing Ouma on a TV news segment, Davidson's beautifully shot documentary, "Kassim The Dream," debuted on Friday at New York's Tribeca Film Festival. In the film, Davidson tells the story of Ouma's first journey back to Uganda since he fled to the United States in 1998. REUTERS/Believe Media and Urban Landscapes/Handout (UNITED STATES). NO SALES.

¿Y qué es lo que quiere denotar con su película? "El no saber inglés y no conocer las leyes hace que muchas de las personas que están en la cárcel estén ahí por no conocer sus derechos de alguna manera. Que si son apresados, tienen derecho a que alguien del Consulado esté ahí, que existen teléfonos de emergencia. La gente que ya vive aquí ya lo vivió y lo sabe, y tal vez ya pasó por muchas dificultades, pero aquellos que piensan en venirse, deben pensarlo bien e informarse".
Ha sido muy premiado
"Mi vida dentro" inicialmente fue presentada en el Festival de cine de Morelia, México, y desde entonces ha ido consiguiendo varios reconocimientos. En el estado mexicano ganó Mejor Documental y el premio de la Asociación de Empresas del cine y la televisión al Mejor Documental hecho por una mujer. Además, en París estuvo en el Festival de Derechos Humanos, donde ganó, además de compartir el máximo reconocimiento en el Festival de Cine Independiente de Buenos Aires, dentro de la sección de Derechos Humanos. Su siguiente parada es ni más ni menos que Cannes, donde se presentará en la semana de la crítica.
"Es una historia que tienen que conocer sobre una mujer como muchas que han venido a Estados Unidos con muchos sueños para ayudar a su familia, muy jóvenes y sin ninguna otra intención más que ayudar y lamentablemente, ella no pudo regresar a su casa con dinero para ayudarle a su madre. Fue una historia completamente opuesto a lo que ella quería...", culmina Gajá.
