Ellis

"Ellis" is a powerful and poignant short film that delves into the forgotten stories of immigrants who built America. Set in the abandoned Ellis Island Hospital complex, the film uses JR's UNFRAMED art installations to bring to life the memories of those who passed through its doors. With a star-studded cast, including Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, and written by Eric Roth, the film is a haunting reminder of the struggles and sacrifices made by those seeking a new life. Through the lens of one immigrant's experience, "Ellis" awakens our collective memory and eerily foreshadows the plight of those still seeking safety and opportunities in this country and beyond.
