“I Found You / Nilda’s Story” tells the story of Nilda, a woman from Honduras, who fled her home country due to violence and made her way to the U.S. with her two-year-old son Keyden.
Blanco shared the video online Friday, explaining that the video was originally intended to start production in July 2018, “but we quickly realized that this was far too powerful and important to b just another video.”
“We found a strong, beautiful, courageous woman named Nilda… her and her son Keyden have had a very hard year,” Blanco said. “over a 10 day shooting period in Honduras, Mexico, Texas and NY, we tried our best to bring u their story.”

He added, “They are human beings… they deserve a good life… just like u and i.”
