Una Vida, Dos Países: Children and Youth (Back) in Mexico

Una Vida, Dos Países shares how children and youth experience life in Mexico after being born or raised in the US.

One million Mexicans residing in the US have returned to Mexico, including children and youth who were born or raised in the US between 2009-2014. Una Vida, Dos Países presents the stories of these transborder youth, highlighting their experiences living between two countries, cultures, languages and education systems, and exploring their parents’ decisions to return to their home country after living undocumented in the US.

The 30-minute film is multilingual in Spanish, English, and Zapotec with subtitles throughout. Also available is an accompanying curriculum for secondary schools in the US and Mexico, as well as a guide for teachers of transborder students in Mexico.
