Why We Come/Porque Venimos Film at Aqus

In Por Que Venimos (Why We Come), Latin American migrants living in San Rafael’s Canal district tell why they left their homes to endure the arduous journey to El Norte, the United States.

These powerful, often heartbreaking, yet always stirring and inspiring stories offer an intimate look at lives lived at the outer limits of poverty and at the extraordinary courage of ordinary people as they take great risks seeking a better life for their families, especially for their children.
