“First Time Home”
When four cousins learned their grandfather in Mexico was gravely ill, they traveled to their family’s ancestral village in Oaxaca for the first time. The youth recorded video letters to share with their parents and other relatives in the U.S. who are farmworkers and have not seen their relatives in Mexico in over 15 years. Through a mixture of Spanish, Triqui and English, they got to know their grandparents, aunts and uncles. Directed by Noemi Librado Sanchez, Heriberto Ventura, Esmirna Librado and Esmeralda Ventura. Followed by a panel discussion.
