They Live Here, Now is an intimate portrait of the refugee house, Casa Marianella, which is based in Austin, Texas. Featuring interviews with residents from countries worldwide, the film is at once a celebration of immigrants, and an exploration of the ways in which spaces are optimized for refugees and asylum seekers. People come to the US for many different and complicated reasons. This is their story, and opportunity to share their perspective with the world.
