Dear Homeland tells the story of Bay Area-based singer-songwriter Diana Gameros as she finds her voice as an artist and fights to define home for herself as an undocumented immigrant. Told in part through Diana’s hauntingly beautiful music, we learn of her nearly 20-year journey that takes her from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, to San Francisco, California, where we watch Diana assert herself not only as a musician, but as an immigrant seeking citizenship and as an advocate for immigrant rights.

Claudia was born and raised in Medellín, Colombia, and emigrated to the United States in 2004. Her own experience informs her
nuanced and moving capture of Diana’s journey. “I am telling a story about immigration at a time when families are separated and
immigrants are treated like criminals, a time of deep humanitarian crisis,” she says. “But the film I am making is first and foremost about a
strong woman and artist working towards her dreams. Like me, she is an immigrant, a daughter of violence and resilience who lived
undocumented for many years in the United States.”
This lyrical and poetic film gives audiences a unique look into the challenges, aspirations and opportunities Diana experiences, providing a
counter-narrative to the dehumanizing language that dominates present-day narratives about immigrants. Dear Homeland is a deep
reflection on family, resilience and what it means to call a place home.
