Aggie Ebrahimi Bazaz

Como Vivimos is an intimate, verite portrait of a year in the lives, working experiences, and educational trajectories of farmworking families who reside in a state-subsidized Migrant Family Housing Center in French Camp, CA. Through the textures of daily and seasonal routines, the film explores how farmworking families, many of whom are US citizens, frame a stable sense of belonging while living within an institution that mandates an annual transnational migration.
