Description: Told through archival footage and candid conversations, a Mexican immigrant family reflects on the border that has kept them apart for 25 years, revealing the enduring impact of separation and the hope for a reunion. Narrated by Javi, the only family member who can legally travel back and forth from Mexico, La Esperanza reflects on Juana and Javier’s time in the U.S., the false promises they left behind, and the reasons they can't return to San Pedro Teozacoalco.
