HOME IS SOMEWHERE ELSE
The film features three personal stories about immigrant youth to highlight the
complexities and challenges they face today. Voiced by the actual children and their
families, the stories are woven together by spoken word poet Lalo "El Deportee", the
film's host and MC whose vibrant "Spanglish" breaks codes, switches standards, and
pushes the viewer to decipher his poems. Each story has its own unique visual
animation style drawn by three different teams. The animation allows us to truly see and
feel these characters' worst nightmares, alongside their colorful hopes and dreams for a
better future.
