"Si Pudiera Quedarme / If I Could Stay" is a heart-wrenching story of two undocumented Latinx mothers, Jeanette and Ingrid, who courageously enter local churches to evade deportation and protect their families. Over five years, the mothers face the constant threat of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids while fighting for their legal status and inspiring allies in their faith communities. Through an intimate and raw lens, the film showcases the unwavering strength, love, and sacrifice of these mothers, who risk everything to keep their families together in the country they call home. "Si Pudiera Quedarme / If I Could Stay" is a call to action and a powerful reminder that providing Sanctuary is not just an act of charity, but a crucial act of social justice.
