Alejandra is a criminalized organizer and unapologetic immigrant. While she prepares for one of the most significant moments of her life — her deportation case — Alejandra is forced to reckon with past mistakes and a system that could tear her apart from her family and the only home she has ever known.
Both an intense character study and a harsh look at the US immigration system, Maya Micaela Cueva builds a beautiful portrait of a woman fighting for not only her rights, but the rights of immigrants around the world.
