Synopsis
Home Is Somewhere Else, a fully animated documentary, narrates three stories from characters who share the same fears, hopes and emotions around living the undocumented experience: Jasmine, an 11-year-old U.S. citizen who lives afraid of her undocumented parents being deported; sisters Evelyn and Elizabeth -one a U.S. citizen and the other an undocumented immigrant- separated by their different migratory status; and Lalo, who was deported from his home state of Utah to Mexico at 23 years old and since then has become an advocate for this generation of returnees and deported Mexicans through his spoken-word poetry, which embraces Spanglish as its main language.
