No Somos De Aquí, Ni Somos De Allá (2020)
Directed by Leo Aguirre
“A celebration of Mexican-American biculturalism”
Documentary · 2m
"I was born and raised along the United States-Mexico border and inhabited both countries while growing up," says Leo Aguirre, a first-generation Mexican-American writer and director. "This film is a testament to the bicultural nature of many people's experience. No Somos De Aquí, Ni Somos De Allá is the most personal project I've directed thus far." Aguirre shines a spotlight on young people's experiences of growing up in the culture of two countries. The delicately shot portraits reaveal the rich diversity of thought and expression from people who consider themselves both Mexian and American. "The film had been percolating in my mind for over two years," says Aguirre. "It consists of a lot of internal dialogues that I've had with myself as a filmmaker and as a first-generation American.
