CLIPS FROM THE DEPORTEE'S WIFE

Selections from THE DEPORTEE'S WIFE, a monologue written and performed by Giselle Stern Hernandez. In this solo show, Giselle Stern Hernández's marriage is laid out on the front lines of the North American immigration debate. Giselle's husband Roberto was deported from Chicago, Illinois back to Mexico in April of 2001. Giselle moved to Mexico to live with him in August of that same year. While she was born and raised in the States, and they were legally married, it didn't make a difference at all; her husband was deported anyway, with the order to stay out of the U.S. for twenty years.

And then there came the day that he wasn't allowed to enter Canada.

Through images and her words, she tells their unforgettable story. In THE DEPORTEE'S WIFE, Giselle brings a clear, distinctive and personal voice to an issue that's often swept away between sound bites and presidential campaigns.

Giselle tells you a love story you'll never forget.
