Patricia Engel – Infinite Country
Patricia Engel’s Infinite Country gives voices to five members of a family of Colombian immigrants, reflecting the tense reality of daily life as an undocumented immigrant. Talia is being held at a correctional facility that she desperately needs to get out of so that she can make her flight to the United States and be reunited with her family. A backdrop of civil war sees Talia’s parents, Mauro and Elena, leave their home for the United States with their first-born Karina, in pursuit of a better life on temporary VISAs. When Mauro is deported though, the family is splinted and they’ve been living with the costs over since.
