Iliana Sosa, Filmmaker: Love, Loss, and Legacy in the Film What We Leave Behind
December 7, 2022
•35m
This week, I’m joined by Mexican American filmmaker Iliana Sosa to discuss her first feature documentary, What We Leave Behind. It’s a deeply moving portrait of her grandfather, Julian Moreno, the patriarch of her family, and serves as a beautiful tribute to his legacy.
During World War II, Julian Moreno came to the US as a seasonal agricultural worker as part of the Bracero Program, later returning to his home in Mexico to start a family. Sadly, Julian was widowed at an early age with seven children to raise. Iliana’s mother was the first of his children to immigrate to the US, leaving Mexico at the age of 14 to go to El Paso, where she eventually met Iliana’s father. In the subsequent years, Iliana’s grandfather frequently took the bus from his home in Durango, Mexico to Iliana’s home in El Paso, then on to Albuquerque to visit other relatives. His visits were always brief so that he could return home to care for his adult son with a disability.
Iliana’s initial plan was to make a documentary film about her grandfather’s time as a bracero, but as in many documentaries, the story takes a twist. The film chronicles his journey of constructing a house in Mexico at the age of 89, and the larger message of what that project meant for him and his family.

Topics Covered:
● A brief synopsis of What We Leave Behind and why Iliana pursued this project
● How Iliana’s relationship with her grandfather changed over the course of filming
● Coming to terms with aging and things left undone at the end of your life
● The importance of family connection, particularly one with members on both sides of the US-Mexico border
● How capturing everyday life naturally crafted the storyline and portrait of Iliana’s grandfather

Bonus Episode--Beyond 6 Seconds, Hosted by Carolyn Kiel!
January 11, 2023
•39m
Many times on this show, I’ve talked with guests who were keeping secrets. Not secrets entrusted to them by others—but secrets about themselves. These secrets might be past actions or experiences that they felt shame around. It might be a difference, a unique quality about themselves that they kept hidden, for fear of rejection or of judgement from others.
We’re in-between seasons at Art Heals All Wounds, which gives me the great opportunity to share with you an episode from one of my favorite podcasts, Beyond 6 Seconds. Beyond 6 Seconds is hosted by Carolyn Kiel. Most of her guests are either neurodivergent or have a disability. Carolyn herself is autistic—and I say “is autistic” rather than has autism because that’s what Carolyn prefers. Carolyn is a skilled interviewer and with her help, her guests share their stories of coming into their own, thriving, and helping others to thrive, too.
I’m sharing Carolyn’s interview with Ruth Rathblott, someone who hid her limb difference for years. Ruth doesn’t hide it anymore. As she shared in her TEDx talk, when she stopped hiding her difference, she found freedom. If you’d like to be free of something you’re hiding from the world, this might just be a great story for you to hear.
I’ll include a link back to the Beyond 6 Seconds website so that you can read the show notes from the episode with Ruth Rathblott and check out more episodes from this show.
