Nos Fuimos is a documentary that examines intergenerational memories of migration within a Mexican American family. Centered on conversations with the filmmaker’s parents, the film reflects on personal histories of migration, sacrifice, and resilience while considering how these stories are remembered, shared, and sometimes left undocumented.
Produced during a period of heightened visibility of immigration enforcement in the United States, the film also situates these personal narratives within a broader social context in which questions of safety, belonging, and home continue to shape immigrant communities. Combining archival photographs, interviews, and personal narration, the film brings together family memory and documentary reflection to explore how migration stories persist across generations and how they inform contemporary understandings of identity and community.
