Hermanos

Running time: 80 mins

Is the American Dream a nightmare? A former pageant queen, who has lost her house, believes the path to American salvation runs through Donald Trump while two brothers attempt to return to the U.S. after being deported. These dissimilar lives, presented in parallel, reveal surprisingly similar challenges for both Mexicans and Americans.

Told through intimate moments and dynamic interchanges, Hermanos examines family relationships, new economic realities, and questions of religion and politics. – Chris Garcia Preceded by the short film: Empire on Main Street; dir.
