Gone to Return

This documentary is about the political persecution suffered by the leaders of the so-called Revolución Ciudadana when ex-president Rafael Correa Delgado left the government, which led to his exile in different parts of the world, including Mexico. This feature film recounts eight stories traversed by betrayal but also by the paths of the fight for utopia, justice, and the well-being of the people.

Directed by Carlos Enríquez Borges, Gone to Return leans on a strong ensemble — Rafael Correa, Gabriela Rivadeneira, Ricardo Patiño — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2022.
