Why We Come - Photographs
Marin Immigrant Rights Coalition members present a documentary film & photography exhibit:
Why We Come (Por Que Venimos)
A dozen migrants from Latin America living inSan Rafael's Canal district tell their own stories about why they felt compelled to leave their homes and endure the arduous journey to El Norte, the United States of America. In Por Que Venimos (Why We Come), these powerful, often heartbreaking, always stirring and inspiring stories offer an intimate look at lives lived at the outer limits of poverty and at the extraordinary courage of ordinary people as they take great risks seeking a better life for their families, especially for their children. They and many, many others just like them are the real heroes among us.
