“La jaula de oro”(2013) as a Migration Genre film of director Diego Quemada-Diez deals with the perilous migration trajectory of Guatemalan teenagers in search of a new life crossing the US-Mexico border. The film based on testimonies and interviews of Latin American migrants represents the violence on their way to the US and the humanity that emerged between the main characters, Sara, Juan and Chauk. Above all, the director shows the brotherhood of Juan and Chauk through Juan's spiritual change that overcomes racism towards indigenous culture. Instead, Chauk is configured as a generous, brave and spiritual Indian who knows traditional therapeutics. That is to say, Chauk is depicted as an ideal indian who belongs not to the contemporary world but to Nature and the past. In this sense, the director Quemada Diez manages to exalt humanism, but the configuration of the character Chauk does not differ from the historical vision of Europeans, the 'noble savage'.
