Alejandra Márquez Abella also talks about wanting to tell her family's own migrant story and what she learned from directing 'Narcos: Mexico.'

[Editor's note: The following contains some spoilers for A Million Miles Away.] From director Alejandra Márquez Abella , the inspirational real-life story A Million Miles Away follows the journey José Hernandez took from migrant farm worker to NASA flight engineer.

Does it make you more nervous, and do you feel more pressure and responsibility, to think about telling a story that close to you? ABELLA: In the end, everything is fiction. You can be telling a true-life, based on a true story tale, but we are always writing and rewriting, all the time, so it’s very fictional, by the end of it. It does have a communication with the original thing, so I don’t know if that relaxes me. It’s all about symbols and representation. It’s not a literal copy of reality, or it would probably be super boring.ABELLA: I created it.
