Trailer for the documentary Sin Pais, also known as Without Country.
Sin Pa s (Without Country) attempts to get beyond the partisan politics and mainstream media s talking point approach to immigration issues by exploring one family s complex and emotional journey involving deportation.
In 1992, Sam and Elida Mejia left Guatemala during a violent civil war and brought their one-year old son, Gilbert, to California. The Mejia s settled in the Bay Area, and for the past 17 years they have worked multiple jobs to support their family, paid their taxes, and saved enough to buy a home. They had two more children, Helen and Dulce, who are both U.S. citizens. Two years ago, immigration agents stormed the Mejia s house looking for someone who didn t live there. Sam, Elida, and Gilbert were all undocumented and became deeply entangled in the U.S. immigration system.
Sin Pa s begins two weeks before Sam and Elida s scheduled deportation date. After a passionate fight to keep the family together, Sam and Elida are deported and take Dulce with them back to Guatemala.
With intimate access and striking imagery, Sin Pa s explores the complexities of the Mejia s new reality of a separated family parents without their children, and children without their parents.
