DEAD WHEN I GOT HERE – Asylum from the madness

"Dead when I got here is a film about a man redeemed from 30 years of self-destruction. From being an illegal Mexican in the US; locked up in San Quentin for murder; deported back to the streets of Juárez and finally dumped nearly dead on arrival in a mental asylum in the desert. Assuming her father to be dead, his daughter in LA hasn’t seen him in 22 years. She discovers him on a trailer for this film. This is a story of redemption from the world’s most violent city to the warm heart of a reunited family." Mark Aitken – Producer/Director/Camera.

The Border Chronicle

The Border Chronicle is a weekly newsletter that publishes original, on-the-ground reporting, analysis, and commentary. Every Tuesday and Thursday subscribers will receive our latest dispatch in their inbox. We also host a Border Chronicle podcast where we talk to fascinating fronterizos, artists, activists, asylum seekers and others. Our goal is to challenge preconceived notions about the borderlands, even our own. We want to create a community of ideas so that we can break free of the “crisis” narrative that does such a disservice to our region.
