SOY DE LAS NUBES
A film about displacement, belonging, and creative resistance —
and the places that made us.
THE STORY
At age 13, Baruck was forcibly returned to Mexico with his family. Twenty-five years later, he is going home. As he travels back to his childhood neighborhood in California, he photographs the landscapes, objects, and memories that were taken from him, while also setting up handmade passport booths that invite others affected by deportation policies to reclaim their stories and identities through photography and poetry.
FIELD NOTES
Production began last year, following Baruck’s return to his childhood neighborhood in California for the first time in over two decades. The team is currently fundraising for post-production and preparing for filming in Mexico this summer, where Baruck will exhibit photographs from his journey home.
