Deep gratitude to all of our community organizations for the work that they lead. Special thanks to Filipino Migrant Center and Undocumented Filmmakers Collective for their help in promoting this program.
A poetic essay film through the lens of an undocumented immigrant becoming disillusioned by their future in the United States and deciding to return to an estranged homeland. Nowhere Near tracks down the origin of a family curse backtracking through the post 9/11 era, the US occupation of the Philippines and the spiritual conquest of the Spanish empire. The film is a years-long diary towards understanding the causes of migration to the United States, though ultimately this odyssey deviates far from the expected course.
Content Advisory: Emotional pain, drug use, 9/11, WWII
