DEAD WHEN I GOT HERE – Asylum from the madness

"Dead when I got here is about a man redeemed from 30 years of self-destruction.  From being an illegal Mexican in the US; locked up in San Quentin for murder; deported back to the streets of Juárez and finally dumped nearly dead on arrival in a mental asylum in the desert.  Assuming her father to be dead, his daughter in LA hasn’t seen him in 22 years.  She discovers him on a trailer for this film. This is a story of redemption from the world’s most violent city to the warm heart of a reunited family." Mark Aitken – Producer/Director/Camera.
