What begins as a personal journey becomes an exploration of history, identity, and discovery. Through interviews, landscapes, music, and lived experience, Mi América examines the region’s deep religious and cultural traditions, revealing how history has been preserved and passed down across generations.
The documentary also confronts difficult chapters of the past, including the assimilation of children in schools, where students were punished for speaking their native language. It addresses the long history of land grants that were stolen or stripped away, and the resistance movements that emerged in the 1960s as communities fought to protect their ancestral land rights.
At its core, Mi América is about belonging—how culture survives, how memory endures, and how the stories we inherit shape who we are”.
