We’re kicking off the 11th edition of IberoDocs in Edinburgh with the UK premiere of the multi-award-winning animated documentary Home is Somewhere Else.
📽️ About the Film
Directed by Carlos Hagerman & Jorge Villalobos | 2023 | 87m | PG
🌎 Mexico/USA – Spanish with English subtitles
Through vibrant animation and poetry, three young immigrants in the United States share their deeply personal stories:
Jasmine, who lives in fear of her undocumented parents being deported.
Evelyn and her sister Elizabeth, forced to live apart because of their different immigration statuses.
José (Lalo), reflecting on his deportation experience.
Their voices are brought together by spoken word poet José Eduardo Aguilar, weaving a powerful narrative about resilience, identity, and belonging.
🎤 Includes a 10-minute extended introduction
🍷 Post-screening conversation
Join us afterwards at the Filmhouse Café Bar for a discussion with members of LACAE (Latin American Community Association of Edinburgh).
