Javier Zamora was nine years old when he made the journey from El Salvador to the U.S.-Mexico border. Now, nearly 20 years later, he has to return to the country where he was born, to apply for a visa to that will allow him to continue to live in the U.S. We follow Javier’s return in his own words: through audio diaries, archival family tape, and interviews. “The Return” is an intimate portrait of what gets left behind when we immigrate and what we can gain when we return.
