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.”

Highline College | Mariela Barriga, Program Manager, Latinx Advising and Retention Cultural Learning Communities
"Screening this film at our community college was both affirming and illuminating for our students, faculty, and staff. Nicole and Luis's willingness to sit on a panel afterwards was a special way for us to contextualize the themes as well as connect further on what it means to navigate higher education as an undocumented college student. It was such a special event for us and I highly recommend screening From Here/From There!"
