NEW DOCS

Liliana Luis is 14 years old, the fifth of six sisters, and she wishes her only problem was whether to “date a fine white boy or a fine Mexican boy.” But she’s always the new girl at school, and her problem is remembering whether she’s in Texas or California or on the Interstate in between. Liliana has to remake herself every day: Texan, Mexican, Californian, American. This movie is a verité character study rich in family detail and the migrant dilemma that stretches along the US-Mexico border.  RR
