Brother TownsFrom the poster for the documentary, 'Brother Towns / Pueblos Hermanos.'
Description
Brother Towns is a story of two towns linked by immigration, family, and work: Jacaltenango, a highland Maya town in Guatemala; and Jupiter, a coastal resort town where many Jacaltecos have settled in Florida.
This documentary chronicles a story of how and why people migrate across borders, how people make and remake their communities when they travel thousands of miles from home, and how people maintain families despite their journey.
Katie Davis brings us her review.
