Lejanías y Nostalgia - A Documentary by Roberto S Orgel

Lejanías y Nostalgia tells the inspiring story of Alfredo de Batuc, a Mexican-born Los Angeles artist whose life and work have made an important contribution to the city’s rich artistic and cultural landscape.

Born in Sonora, Mexico, Alfredo arrived in Los Angeles in 1975 and established himself as a distinctive artistic voice in the city. His work reflects both his personal journey and the evolving cultural history of Los Angeles.

When Guillain-Barré Syndrome left him paralyzed, Alfredo faced an extraordinary challenge: recovering his mobility and finding his way back to painting.

Through intimate conversations, archival materials, and his extraordinary artwork, the documentary celebrates creativity, resilience, and the enduring power of art.
