A group of Mexican women havent seen their husbands and sons for years. Can an ingenious plan involving a touring theatre show finally get them into the US to be reunited with their loved ones?
Rosas sons left when they were 16 and 18 and are now undocumented migrants in the United States… just two of more than 12 million Mexicans living there.
The men arent even able to visit, because crossing the border back into Mexico would be illegal and dangerous.
My whole family are migrants. From my father to my brothers and finally my husband, another of the woman Lupita says. Shes only seen her husband on video chats over the past six years.
For these impoverished families, its not as simple as just paying for flights, and getting a visa is almost impossible.
But they have a dramatic plan. Theyve banded together in a support group called CAFAMI to create a play about their story, with the message that Mexicos young people must stop leaving.
If they can get an invitation to perform it in the United States, they might be able to enter the country as performing artists, and finally be reunited.
Then finally their dreams have come true.
