Without Country

Nearly 20 years ago, Sam and Elida Mejia escaped a violent civil war in Guatemala and brought their oneyear- old son, Gilbert, to California. The Mejias settled in the Bay Area, worked multiple jobs and saved enough to buy a home. They had two more children, both U.S. citizens, and lived the American Dream. ‘Without Country’ explores the family’s complex and emotional journey as members are separated by deportation.
