The Story

  • In 1969, Alejandro and Severa Mercado decided that in order to have a better life, they had to leave Mexico and head to the United States. In 1971, Alejandro acquired fake passports to cross the border in Tijuana. As they voyaged towards their new home, the family is broken up and separated. It is up to Alejandro to journey back and reunite with the two people who matter the most in his life.

Director's Statement

My grandparent’s journey to the United States is a story I’ve become dedicatedly passionate about. I care deeply about my grandparents as they have always been supportive of my choices in life. My grandfather always tells me to never give up and to always keep on pushing because if I do, I’ll get to where I want to be. That is Nuestro Camino. A story about a man who never gave up. He wanted to reunite with his family and did with all the obstacles he faced. Nothing stopped him from reaching his goal and being reunited with his loved ones. Nuestro Camino is an anthem to all people, past and present who follow their dreams and reach their goals. Latinos are present and we’re here to stay.
