Reviews & Quotes | From Here/From There

Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration | Luz Bertadillo, Director, Campus Engagement
"From Here/From There (De Aquí/De Allá) is a timely film that provides insight into the lives of undocumented individuals and mixed-status families. The way Luis' story is told, incites laughter, inspiration, and action, not only for those who are directly impacted but also for allies in law and higher education. This is a must-watch film that helps educate and spark discussions for those seeking to understand the complexities that undocumented students face in higher education and in their career trajectories."

Highline College | Gaby Osorio, Program Manager, Latinx Advising and Retention Cultural Learning Communities
“I am beyond excited and proud of the documentary From Here/From There (De Aquí/De Alla). I don’t always get to see myself and my experiences reflected in the media, and this film is exactly that. I recommend it to all audiences. This film can be a great tool in the classroom and as a way to spread knowledge in the community at large. Be ready to learn, to laugh, and to take action.”

Rafael Martinez, Author of Illegalized: Undocumented Youth Movements in The United States and Professor at Arizona State University
“The film does a great job at presenting many important topics, themes, and questions connected to current events in immigration, while also showing the complexity through a humanist narrative that is often missing. I was so moved by it that I’ll be incorporating it into the immigration course I teach next semester, ensuring students can engage deeply with its message.”

Wall Street Journal | John Anderson, TV Critic
“As entertaining as it is informative . . . A tale well told.”
