As his journey unfolds, Luis confronts the wounds of his own father’s deportation, makes unlikely allies, is hospitalized with Covid-19, and ultimately wins a landmark Supreme Court case. Within days of his inauguration, President Biden introduced the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021. Congress is scheduled to debate this legislation. Will it come to a vote in both houses, or stall yet again? In the courts, critics continue to challenge DACA, creating more uncertainty for the Dreamers. This ongoing crisis forms the social and political context of UNDOCUMENTED JUSTICE. Luis’ story resonates because, at its heart, it is about family, struggle, and the meaning of home. Luis is but one of hundreds of thousands fighting for their future and challenging the narrative around immigration justice. “This is my home and I am not going to go down without a fight.” — Karen Reyes, deaf education teacher and plaintiff in DACA case HOME THE STORY THE TEAM CONTACT: [email protected] © 2020 Galewind Films | Website design by workingtitle.studio
