Sylvia Stevens' 1995 documentary introduced viewers to the Mejía family of Fresno, California, whose parents emigrated from Mexico's beautiful but impoverished southern province of Oaxaca to make a living in the U.S. Despite the family's thriving landscaping business and thoroughly assimilated children, the ties to the family's ancestral home are strong, maintained each year with a family trip back for their home village of Jaltepec's fiesta in honor of Saint Mary Magdalene.
