Living Undocumented Series

This two-part series captures the strengths and challenges faced by undocumented New Yorkers through their adolescence and adulthood.  

Living Undocumented: High School, College and Beyond 

Living Undocumented is a short documentary that explores the lives of diverse undocumented immigrant youth to illustrate the realities, challenges and opportunities they face through high school, college, and beyond. It features six DREAMers, who portray the realities of our nation’s immigration system and its impact on undocumented youth.  The documentary is intended for all audiences, but with the accompanying lesson plan and resource guide for students and educators, it is especially useful in secondary classes.

Still Living Undocumented: Five Years Later

Still Living Undocumented is the sequel to the 2012 documentary Living Undocumented. The first film captured the realities of undocumented youth as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was announced. DACA drastically changed the trajectories of some people in the film while leaving others out of its reach. Still Living Undocumented follows three people from the first film to see how a political policies, or the absence of them, impact individuals.
