Jose David

In the mythical landscapes of Oaxaca, three young Afro-Mexicans, José David, Fanni, and Marlen, search for meaning in a place that has made Blackness invisible. José David lives with the mystery of a brother who vanished into the Pacific. Fanni yearns for the mother who crossed the border when she was a child. Marlen puts together the pieces of her family's past. As they come of age, the familial ghosts of migration converge with ancestral visions, magic, and ritual, blurring the boundaries between what was lost, what remains, and where they belong.
