Accidental Expat is a narrative film that tells the powerful story of Raymond, a 21-year-old DACA DREAMer from Texas who is deported and forced to start over in Mexico City. Unable to speak Spanish and unfamiliar with the culture, Raymond is a true "fish out of water"--just like many DREAMers who are returned to countries they left as infants or young children.

Film Threat

This tale of dejection, hope, and perseverance is an eye-opening watch for all wanting to understand the consequences of deportation.

Rated: 8.5/10

I was glad to find a film that finally told the story of what happens after a deportation occurs! Great acting, especially the young man and his father.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
