America's Family
Directed by Anike Tourse (USA, 2022, 103 min.)
When ICE raids the Diaz family home on Thanksgiving, Mother Marisol is put in detention, son Koke is deported and father Jorge flees for protective sanctuary. The two American born children, freshman attorney Emiliano and his disabled teen sister Valentina, scramble to do whatever they can to reunite the family while their parents and brother do what they have to to get home.
