Mejor Allá

Directed by Danyeli Rodriguez Del Orbe

Danyeli, formerly undocumented, is finally able to return to the Dominica Republic to visit with her grandmother and family that she had left behind when she migrated to the US so long ago. While visiting, she learned that her father had left the DR via a yola (a small boat) from the DR to Puerto Rico before reaching the mainland, a treacherous journey that many migrants undergo, a journey that's claimed many lives at sea. Danyeli is now learning the true cost of what it took for her parents to find and give her a better life.
