Photos of the Day: That time I played a dead migrant worker (Re: gardener) on a short film starring Grammy Award-winning singer Alicia Keys! Just thought I'd share these images from Let Me In - We Are Here, a fascinating project that Keys worked on in support of World Refugee Day—which was on June 20 (the same day that the film was officially released). For those of you wondering, the story of Let Me In revolves around an American family (with Keys playing the mom) and how its members suddenly became survivors of war after an armed conflict struck the street they're living on. Won't elaborate more (since you can watch the film at the very bottom of this entry), but Mexico finds itself in the intriguing position to decide on whether or not to turn away American refugees trying to seek peace south of the border. Considering the way that things are going in this nation and elsewhere in real life [the U.S. presidential election is a little over four months away (on November 8)], this scenario isn't so farfetched...especially considering that Canada is too far to escape to (at least from where I live) during a would-be civil war. Happy Independence Day weekend!
