Those Left Behind

A new documentary film from Mexico, “Los Que Se Quedan” (Those Who Remain) takes a deep, personal look at the lives of husbands who migrate to the United States in search of work and leave their parents, wives and children behind. The L.A. Times has been raving about the film, which follows nine families both in Mexico and in the U.S., at different points in their migratory lives. “It’s kind of the Ullyses, and we wanted to make the Penelope story, about the people who stay behind and wait,” filmmaker Carlos Hagerman has said about the story.
