TCJFF Screening: All We Carry

With extraordinary access, All We Carry follows Magdiel, Mirna, and their son Josh, as the young family flees Honduras on foot, rides in cargo trains across Mexico, claims asylum at the U.S. border, and endures detention. Once released, the family is given a court date that will determine if they can stay in the States — but it’s two years away. Without a work permit and in need of housing, they connect with a Seattle synagogue that offers to sponsor the family. As they settle into their temporary home, Magdiel and Mirna connect with the synagogue community, learning about the family histories of persecution and migration so similar to their own.
