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 who were born outside the U.S. and raised in this country. These are young people who were educated in US schools and know only the U.S. as home.
65,000 undocumented students graduate every year from high school without “papers”. It is against the law for these students to work or drive. It is difficult, if not impossible in some states, to attend college. Currently, there is no path to citizenship for these young people.
