Filmed throughout Central America and Mexico, Ojos Viajeros explores the visual and auditory memories of a journey. Presented in 5 vignettes (silence, Whispers, Voices, Screams, and Songs), Ojos draws the viewer deeper into the relationship of images, sounds, and words while meditating on the complex and unusual nuances of the filmmaker with the subject. Ojos Viajeros presents a personal, yet candid portrait of Central American life.
