During Hispanic Heritage Month, let’s explore documentaries that spotlight the rarely heard voices of queer Hispanic immigrants in the U.S. These films reveal the perspectives of immigrants themselves, something the debate around immigration often misses. Amid the Trump administration’s assault on immigrants, figures like Mahmoud Khalil, Andry Hernández Romero, and Kilmar Ábrego García became known—but countless others remain unseen. Through documentaries like Unsettled: Seeking Refuge in America, The Infiltrators, Through Thick and Thin, Forbidden: Undocumented and Queer in Rural America, and The Right Girls, audiences witness courage, love, and survival across borders.
