More About "Strong":
Superterra is the land of hope, abundant resources, and medical miracles, but the planet’s only access point is a wormhole, which the government strictly controls and regulates. Strong (Nancy Talamantes) is a scavenger of astronautic technology, building a shuttle capable of interstellar travel. This is all for the purpose of taking her sick mother (Jacqueline Garrido) off-planet because the planet Earth no longer has the medical resources to save her. When the government of Superterra announces its plan to close all access to the wormhole in the name of border security, Strong and her mother, with the help of their robotic navigator Spark Pug (Ricardo Moreno Villa), must attempt to make the journey before their time runs out.

Superterra is the land of hope... abundant resources... medical miracles. When you earn the right, then you can come. So, when it comes to Proposition X, I can, with full confidence, predict that the people of Superterra will vote "Yes," so that we can close the wormhole until the security at our borders has been rectified.

(Alarm siren) Every ballot has been counted. Every vote considered. And, without further delay, the results of Proposi

This means we will be closing the wormhole immediately, and that it should be entirely shut within the next hour. There is no information yet as to when the wormhole will reopen. Thus, anyone with proper documentation is advised to make arrangements immediately. (Radio) Eighty-nine reported dead in another failed wormhole attempt. (Radio) The migrants we

I see 'Elysium' has inspired you, in this. If You Jean (and Team) can produce this Quality in 9 minutes. Imagine what you could do with 90? Your Future is Bright The Future is 'Strong'. Ms Nancy is a Natural Actress!
THANK YOU for watching and for all the wonderful comments! Awesome to have viewers like you <3
One thing I love to do is come here, read only the title and look at thumbnail then hit play. Read no comments nor description. Then let whatever story happen. Sometimes you get to follow a wondrous journey such as this film. Amazing how it actually speaks truth with what some go through today. 10/10.
First movie I've seen that uses a bunch of original sounds - and it works so very darned well.
It's a very good short! But the story even begins at the end..
Loved it. Hispanic characters like myself. Awesome. Tremendo, gracias.
An impressive short that young actress did very well best of luck in the future
One of the better new videos. Quite appreciated the lucky or beckoning robot 😊
This is pretty relatable to today.
Wow! I absolutely loved it! Very powerful! Very intense! Very well done! I'd love to see a sequel, a full-length movie. I'd pay to see it in theaters again and again and again.
I had trouble understanding what was said, the music was louder than the audio track of the dialogues.
OMG great acting, great storyline. Superb,
¿Quien dijo que no podíamos?...Buena pieza fílmica...Felicitaciones-
Wow...this little film actually made me cry! Amazing story...very well done!
oh, how I needed a happy end! Thank you!
I really enjoyed watching such a good story of heart, humanity . Human life should be top priority equal for all
Oh man... You guys have me all choked up....
I'm jaded by a lot of these videos and thought the wormhole was going to close just as they got to it.
Hope will never die!
Oh don’t stop there!!!! Want to see them in their new home 😁 Thank you that was great. 💜💥💙💥💜
