From Here/From There (De Aquí/De Allá)

About This Movie

So, this doc, From Here/From There, dives into the life of Luis Cortes Romero, who's not your typical lawyer. The film captures the tense atmosphere surrounding the Dreamers' plight, especially as ICE looms large over 700,000 lives. You can feel the urgency in his journey, becoming the first undocumented attorney to stand in front of the Supreme Court. The pacing is reflective yet gripping; it gives you time to absorb the weight of the issues while keeping you engaged with his personal story. The way it weaves Luis's fight with broader themes of justice and identity really sets it apart. It’s raw, real, and does a solid job of balancing hope with the harsh realities of the immigrant experience.
