Crafted entirely from immigration court transcripts, interviews and letters, De Novo tells the true story of Edgar Chocoy, a teenaged boy from Guatemala who faced deportation after fleeing to the U.S. in order to escape the gang MS-13.

Edgar travels over 3,000 miles, across the borders of three countries, in search of his mother and a better life in the United States.

Detained by the Department of Homeland Security, he pleads with a Colorado judge to grant him asylum and not deport him back to Guatemala where the gang was awaiting his return. “If I go back, they’ll kill me.”
