Imagine being separated from family in your native country for 30 years. No ability to visit them and return to the U.S. Samantha “Sam” Ramirez-Herrera lived this and finally got the opportunity to visit her native land and family thanks to a special travel permit called "advance parole". As a filmmaker, the DACA recipient and immigration rights advocate documented the trip to Mexico in a beautiful film called "El Regreso". The film is described: "Against the vibrant visual backdrop of Mexico's Day Of The Dead, "El Regreso" explores rebirth through the lens of one dreamer's awakening."
In our interview, Sam provides a candid look into her evolution from being an undocumented child to having DACA and becoming a filmmaker/entrepreneur who has created over a hundred jobs in the process. Sam will not be deterred by the haters in our society and provides a refreshing perspective on life as an immigrant with no current path to citizenship.
