Lost Souls (Animas Perdidas)

In 1999, filmmaker Monika Navarro's uncles were deported from the United States to Mexico, forced to leave the only country they knew and, as servicemen, had pledged to protect. Set against the backdrop of increased attention to the U.S.-Mexican border, 'Lost Souls (Animas Perdidas)' explores national identity, the lives of immigrants and what happens after deportees are sent to a homeland they no longer consider home.
