On this edition of Your Call, we're discussing Home is Somewhere Else, an animated documentary that provides a window into the hearts and minds of immigrant youth and their undocumented families.
Voiced by the actual children and their families, the film tells the stories of Jasmine, an 11-year-old US citizen whose parents are undocumented; sisters Elisa and Evelyn whose dreams are shattered by the colors of their passports; and Jose, a young man who grew up in a predominantly white, small Mormon Utah town.
The filmmakers say Home Is Somewhere Else invites discussion about the need for a new US migratory model based on respect for human rights for all. They plan to bring the film to communities and decision makers on both sides of the border to prompt dialogue about how the current immigration system harms families and must be replaced.
