No Joke is a 2013 documentary feature film about three Canadian stand-up comedians who are "rejected as hopelessly unfunny by hometown audiences and thusly flee to America for a whirlwind comedy tour (accompanied by intentionally 'unfunny' test subject, Vibrato 3.72 'The Human Vibrator') to determine once and for all whether they have any star potential. Their penultimate comedic judgement comes via private audition for Jamie Masada, owner of the World Famous Laugh Factory in Hollywood, California. The results are hilarious, heartbreaking, and completely unexpected." The film is directed by Matt Frame and is the follow-up to the 2004 film Baghdad or Bust. No Joke had its World Premiere in Vancouver, Canada on January 12, 2013.

In 1980, Zaldívar was a 13-year-old who had grown up as a loyalist of the Cuban Revolution jeering in the streets at the thousands of "Marielitos" leaving the island by boat for the United States. However, within weeks, he had become a Marielito himself, headed with the rest of his family for a new life in Miami. Now a U.S.-based filmmaker, Zaldívar recounts the strange twist of fate that took him across one of the world's most treacherous stretches of water in 90 Miles.

On average, only one in two hundred asylum applicants is ever admitted as a refugee to the U.S. A refugee is defined as someone afraid to return home for fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, social group or political opinion. Any foreign citizen who is able to find a path into the U.S. is eligible to apply for refugee protection in the form of political asylum. At the time of filming, the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) handled all requests for asylum.
