I Carry You with Me

Award-winning documentarian Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp) blends documentary and fictional technique in this deeply moving story about two men, Ivan and Gerardo, who flee their native Mexico for New York City, where the lovers pursue their dreams but face genuine struggle – and the lingering anxiety of being undocumented immigrants. In flashbacks, the men are portrayed at younger ages by actors, seen forging their relationship in Mexico's homophobic society.
