La Casa de Mamá Icha

Co-Producer, Feature-Length Documentary

After 30+ years living in the U.S., 93-year-old Maria Dionisia Navarro decides to return to Colombia and live in the home she built there with remittances. Directed by Colombian filmmaker Oscar Molina.

I am the co-producer of this feature-length documentary which will have its US national release in October 2021.

This beautiful film is directed by Oscar Molina as part of a transmedia project called Mi Casa My Home which centers its attention on stories of migrants who, from within their host country and financed by their remittances, construct their dream homes in their country of origin. Many of these houses stand incomplete, some derelict, and many stand uninhabited for years, large-scale containers of the deferred dream of returning and a visual testament to an illusory economic viability. The film is currently in post-production. Please see here for more information about completion timelines and exhibitions.
