(ANS – Madrid)\u00a0<\/strong>– Director Antonio Cuadri’s new film, “Te proteger\u00e1n mis alas,”(My wings will protect you<\/em>), which will be released in Spanish cinemas on November 14, was presented at several international festivals. The film, which won the Jury Award for Best International Feature Film at the Portobello Film Festival (England) and the Audience Award at the International “Cinema Bajo la Luna” Festival\u00a0 in Islantilla (Spain), is based on the novel of the same name by Salesian Jos\u00e9 Miguel N\u00fa\u00f1ez Moreno, a former member of the Salesian General Council (2008-2014), and is inspired by a true story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story illustrates the life of Wentinam, an orphan child born in Togo and raised on the streets of Kara. His destiny changes when he meets Salesian missionary Jos\u00e9 Antonio Rodr\u00edguez Bejarano, who helps him out of poverty and violence. United by a deep friendship, Wentinam embarks on a risky journey to Europe, crossing, like many immigrants, the Strait of Gibraltar, with the desire to reach Seville to meet his friend Jos\u00e9 Antonio again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shot between Togo and Andalusia, the film forcefully tackles social issues such as immigration and the search for a dignified future, paying tribute to the missionaries who dedicate their lives to the most vulnerable. “It is the story of an external journey and another, more important and profound one, which is the one that human beings make within themselves. A story of essential human values,” director Antonio Cuadri said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film boasts a respectable cast led by Ibrahima Kon\u00e9 (in the role of Wentinam), and with Nacho L\u00f3pez, Daniel Ortiz, Alejo Sauras and Favour David, and is produced by Ulises Producciones and Ode\u00f3n Media Entertainment, in collaboration with Salesian Spain\u2019s Mary Help of Christians Province (SMX) based in Seville, and the Misiones Salesianas Mission Office based in Madrid. The film is distributed by Maravillas Films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Te proteger\u00e1n mis alas” is part of the 150th anniversary of the First Salesian Missionary Expedition and is a tribute to all those who risk their lives to realize their dreams and to those who accompany them with dedication and commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
