The "Oaxaca Mission Trip" documents Villanova University's spring break service trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. Over the course of the week, we traveled to a variety of locations, including an orphanage, hospital, nursing home and the homes of various special needs families. By the end of the trip, Alex Longo and I compiled over 50 hours of footage. It was a struggle to find the right the message behind. It was hard to understand the actual purpose behind the trip as well as the tangible benefits to the Oaxacan people. I wondered whether the trip was merely a self congratulatory exercise used to ease the liberal guilt of overly privileged college students. It's been 2 years since I completed the first (full) version of the documentary and I still find myself searching for answers.
