Jose Barahona... In Lisbon I remembered you

 What is it like for a Latino man with few resources to look for a new life in a different continent? Even a common language plays tricks. And when things are hard, do you stop calling your family? These are the issues in this new film between fiction and documentary. 

Jose Barahona used to go to Brazil for a few months, long enough to make a documentary, but in 2012 due to the economic crisis, there was no film production in Portugal so he moved to Rio, and soon started work on this film "Estive em Lisboa e Lembrei de voce" (I was in Lisbon and I remembered you), which has just been shown at the 7th Latin American Film Festival in Lisbon. The intertwined histories of Portugal and Brazil fascinate him, as do the subtleties of the Portuguese language spoken in the two countries.

In his conversation with The Prisma he talks about the experience of being a migrant himself, acknowledging the privileged position his class and education have given him.
