Trailer
Why watch this film?
The migration between Mexico and its northern neighbor is an age-old topic, but this documentary shows a still recent context prior to the 2016 US presidential elections. With a very close camera, Destierros shows the anguish of migrants to cross before it's too late, but also a lot of solidarity amidst adversity.

Plot summary
Border mechanisms that act on migrants are multiple. From shelter to shelter, boarding on trains, migrants aim up north across Mexico to reach the United States and Canada. During the U.S. election, migrants are more than aware that it could be their last chance to cross the border. In complete immersion, Destierros draws a path of reclusion. A path where time is still the longest road between two places.

The Woman of Stars and Mountains
Rita Patiño, an indigenous woman from Mexico, was found by a human rights organization inside a Kansas psychiatric hospital, where she had been involuntarily confined, for 12 years, despite the fact that the hospital authorities were never able to determine who was this woman, where did she come from, or what language she spoke. After the consequences of confinement and medical negligence, Rita returned to Mexico, where she lives with Juanita, her niece, and primary caregiver, in a context of precarious economic possibilities. A moving portrait of the lives of these two Tarahumara women, questioning the multiple forms of racism and discrimination that indigenous women in Mexico and the United States face.
