Papers: Stories of Undocumented Youth - Film and panel discussion
Wednesday, January 31, 2018 • 15 Shevat 5778
6:30 PM - 8:30 PMFilm and panel discussion The Havurah Sanctuary Committee & Graham Street Productions invite you to a special screening of the documentary film "Papers: Stories of Undocumented Youth" Papers is the story of undocumented youth and the challenges they face as they turn 18 without legal status. A panel discussion will follow the film led by producer Rebecca Shine. She will be joined by two youth deeply connected to these issues. Students present for Middle School and High School will be participating. About the film: Papers is the story of undocumented youth and the challenges they face as they turn 18 without legal status. Approximately 65,000 undocumented students graduate every year from high school without “papers.” Currently, there is no path to citizenship for most of these young people. The five young people featured in this film (Monica, Jorge, Juan Carlos, Simone and Yo Sub) risked arrest, detention and deportation simply for telling the truth about their lives. Their families, hometowns and last names are not revealed because of this concern. The undocumented youth movement continues to advocate for immigration reform with a path to citizenship. Graham Street Productions produced this film in association with El Grupo Juvenil (the "Papers" Youth Crew). These youth producers were actively involved in all aspects of production.
