synopsis

Twenty-five years ago we met the Mejía family, from Mexico living in the United States, as they traveled to Mexico with their American children. This film finds us in the present, meeting the new generation of Mejías as they make the trip once again. What remains the same, did their dreams come true? Oaxacalifornia: The Return explores notions of family and home, and how fast identity and cultural alliances can shift in a single generation.
