Marco Perego-Saldaña & Zoe Saldaña On Their Hope ‘The Absence Of Eden’ Will “Open Conversation” About The U.S. Border Crisis


Marco Perego-Saldana and Zoe Saldana share their hope that their film "The Absence of Eden" will "open conversation" about the U.S border crisis.

With the intensely dark drama starring Saldaña and Garrett Hedlund as individuals on each side of the U.S. border crisis, Perego-Saldana has put decades of artistry and independent study to use, creating a film that juxtaposes beauty with brutality. SALDAÑA: I think refugee crises have become a global conversation, whether it’s because it’s an ongoing matter in every nation, or how our access through social media makes us much more aware of it. She worked so hard and the moment she became a citizen, my grandmother voted, always paid her taxes and taught us the value of America and what it meant to her — and therefore what it should mean to us and what we should pass down to our children.
