Based on a true story, this decades-spanning romance begins in Mexico between an aspiring chef and a teacher. Their lives restart in incredible ways as societal pressure propels them to embark on a treacherous journey to NYC with dreams, hopes, and memories in tow. The first fiction feature from award-winning documentary filmmaker Heidi Ewing (Folktales), I Carry You With Me is an intimate epic, following a gay partnership beyond borders and against all odds. In her New York Times Critics’ Pick review, Jeannette Catsoulis praised the film for how it “understands immigrant longing as more complex and elusive than economic imperative.” Winner of two prizes at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and selected to the 2020 New York Film Festival.
Presented alongside Out There: Pride.
