Siblings poster

Released in 2017, Siblings is a documentary film directed by Laura Plancarte, running about 80 minutes. “To achieve a dream you first need to know the name of the dream.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Tells in parallel, the story of two Mexican brothers that want to go back to the United States after being deported for life, and the story of an American woman who lost her house and today believes she can get it back through Trump’s promises. Their journeys take them on road trips to meet with their past and with relatives who they believe can help them achieve their dreams. Immigration has been shown in many ways, but it has never been presented through the lives of Mexicans and Americans who live similar situations due to poverty and lack of family structure. To achieve a dream you first need to know the name of the dream.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.7/10, Siblings has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
