Director Statement

I made this film to bear witness to the issues that undocumented immigrants face under Trump. Over a period of 15 months I followed the progress of Lourdes Salazar Bautista, a mother of three, as she tried to avoid deportation to Mexico. Filming was done in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Toluca, Mexico.
