I have been married for 20 years with my husband and this is a mission and challanges my family is willing to face to provide a better future to my children.

The movie was heart felt. Sadly we can relate from racism and immigration status. Unfortunately my family has not been in this same situation but it did make me reflect about the help and support we should reachout to help my familys immigration status before its too late.

nearly everything in the last 20 minutes was impactful, but the moment I started crying is when Antonio and his ICE friend were sitting by the water. something about that relationship staying was what did it for me.

The most impactful part in my opinion would have to be the number of adopted individuals that have spend many years yet still face deportation. It’s a large number of people and should not be forgot about fighting for advocacy rights for those who deserve representation.

The part where his wife doesn’t open the door for him after he was beaten because she is still mad about him missing court and doesn’t know what actually happened.

when the white men are beating Antonio in the middle of the woods when Antonio was only just trying to stand up for himself in court. It was a short scene it portrays white men showing the power they hold over marginalized communities even when marginalized communities are trying their best

I do not relate to any characters in particular, but my parents were divorced as well. This makes me understand the conflict of having 2 fathers and 2 mothers. These relationships are very complex and it takes both maturity and mutual respect to handle them.

The most impactful part of the film is when they were at the airport saying their goodbyes. It’s impactful because we do not know that this happens on a daily basis yet we go on about our day and not do anything about it.

1. We acknowledge that racism is real, historic, structural, and institutional. Racism and racist violence is not a matter of opinion, but a reality of history.

2. Prejudice, discrimination, hate speech, harrassment, and any other form of violence are not tolerated in this space. If an individual in the group is intentionally causing harm, the larger community has the right to ask this person to leave.

3. Listen to understand, not to respond. When someone is speaking, give them your whole attention. Remember, listening is a form of engagement and care.

4. Be open to learning and changing your mind. Changing your mind after learning new information and bearing witness to the experience of another can be a challenging process because we have been conditioned to want to be “right.” However, the experience of learning and growing is transformative.

5. Self care and community care. Pay attention to your body, pay attention to your neighbors. If you need to take a break, take a break.
