Sunshine & Sandy: A Short Documentary
Two women, uprooted from the lives they built in America, share an unbreakable bond of love, loss, and life.
EXCERPT FROM THE KICKSTARTER
Sunshine and Sandy are both portly, God-fearing, silver-haired grandmothers—two surprising faces of criminal deportation. Born in Jamaica, they spent most of their lives in the United States before reuniting years later in Ocho Rios.
In America, Sunshine and Sandy were detained by ICE and the DEA, facing criminal charges for marijuana and insurance fraud, respectively. They served multiple sentences in federal prison before being deported, despite holding naturalized American citizenship. However, Sandy's story is a bit more complicated and sheds light on the injustice most legal immigrants face.
