I Carry You With Me — Beyond Borders film

An epic love story spanning decades is sparked by a chance encounter between two men in provincial Mexico. Based on a true story, ambition and societal pressure propel an aspiring chef to leave his soulmate and make the treacherous journey to New York, where life will never be the same.

Shown as part of the Beyond Borders: Stories of Immigration and Migration

Join the Center for Global Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (CGLLC), International Student Services (ISS), and the Coalition for Immigrant Student Advancement (CISA) for a film festival focused on the experiences of immigrants across political, national, and identity borders. Each film invites attendees to reflect on powerful stories, timely explorations for this political moment.

NY Times Critic’s Pick “Turning time and memory into an elliptical portrait of what it means when borders become barriers, “I Carry You With Me,” trades distance for empathy. Director Heidi Ewing and her co-writer, Alan Page, paint a journey — and a love story — defined by compromise. As Iván and Gerardo work to build new lives, what they have left behind tugs insistently on what they have gained.” — New York Times

Beyond Borders: Stories of Immigration and Migration is sponsored by the Williams College Center for Global Languages, Literatures, and Cultures; International Student Services; Coalition for Immigrant Student Advancement; the Davis Center; the Department of Romance Languages; Fellowships; and Global Education and Study Away.
