Papers: The Movie
Wed Dec 2, 7:00 PM
Craig Auditorium, Oberlin Science Center
‘Papers’ is the story of undocumented youth and the challenges they face as they turn 18 without legal status.
There are approximately 2 million undocumented children living in the U.S. who were born outside the U.S. and raised in this country. These are young people who were educated in American schools, hold American values, know only the U.S. as home and yet risk deportation to countries they may not even remember.
65,000 undocumented students graduate every year from high school without “papers” and the door to their future slams shut. It is against the law for them to work or drive. It is difficult, if not impossible in some states, to attend college or university. Currently, there is no path to citizenship for these young people.
