dc.description.extractVicky spins inside a carousel —too old for it, she recalls a lifetime of forsaken rites, of missed graduations, meals, and deaths in the family. In Aaraón Díaz Mendiburo’s insightful documentary Migranta con M de Mamá (Mexico, 2020), translated as Migrant Mother, three women in the Mexico-Canada Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program portray themselves as trapped in a vicious cycle of family separation, but also of resistance. Vicky’s narrator voice accompanies the opening shot as horses and giraffes run in endless circles, mouths gaping as if in a frenzied rush, despite the carousel’s slow pace. Like lives spent waiting for family reunification, time seems warped. Vicky laments that her grown son is now in Leamington, Canada, the same place where her husband died as a migrant worker. Her husband, she explains, sacrificed years of family life to travel to Canada as a temporary migrant worker so that his children could study and have a better life. His son, however, “no quiso estudiar,” “didn’t want to study,” and is now repeating the cycle: off to Leamington, he’s left his one-year-old daughter behind (p. 30).
