Escape from the USA with Lily Forester Part 1

Lily Forester lives in an undisclosed location in Mexico, peacefully tending a garden, crafting and taking care of her dog. How she got there is a wild story some people say deserves to have a movie.

Even before she was born, the situation was surreal, with her parents’ ex partners conspiring to kill them. A story with everything from adventures living in a haunted house as a child to midnight escape from a Hells Angels Motorcycle Gang drug den in the middle of the night, due to a mother making a living selling hard drugs. This is a tale about growing up, dropping out of college to deliberately become an outlaw, an anarchist and agorist evading authority on principle.

This is the first part of the story of how Lily escaped the United States and moved to Mexico as a fugitive. It’s a crazy ride; the good news is, it has a happy ending.
