ON FILM: Smuggled

  Charles talks with Ramon Hamilton, director of the 2013 film "Smuggled." The film tells the story of a young boy and his mother being smuggled into the U.S. inside the small compartment of a tour bus.  Ramon talks about the immigrants who inspired the movie, and why he made the boy's relationship with his mother the central focus of the film.  In this online-only extended interview, Ramon talks about the hard work that goes into the self-distribution and marketing of an independent film.  http://www.getsmuggled.com/
