José Eduardo Aguilar “El Deportee”

Telling the story of Jasmine, who fears that her parents will be deported; Evelyn and Elizabeth, sisters with different immigration status; and José Eduardo, a deported artist, all of whom revolve around the same axis: migration.

Eduardo lives in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, after his deportation from the United States. With a camera in hand, he embarks on a journey to the center of the country, where he works in a transnational customer service center. He documents his commutes to work as he encounters other deported and returned individuals who also grew up in the U.S. Through his lens, Eduardo reflects on his own reintegration process.
