(Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals)
The NYCLU presents the inspiring true story of Jose Antonio Vargas, a Pulitzer prize winner who reveals he’s undocumented, along with a panel of Latino immigrant youth DREAMERS (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients) who will share their experiences.
In 2011, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas outed himself as an undocumented immigrant in the New York Times Magazine. Documented chronicles his journey to America from the Philippines as a child; his public struggle as an immigration reform activist/provocateur; and his journey inward as he reconnects with his mother, whom he hasn't seen in 20 years. A broken immigration system leads to broken families and broken lives. (USA, 2013, 90 min., English, NR | Dir. Jose Antonio Vargas/Ann Raffaela Lupo)
