Working Title: Not like You
Growing up as immigrant DACA students didn’t know what it would mean for their future. For many of them when they applied to college, they realized they were not like everybody else. DACA gave them some protection and now that it has been rescinded, their life is in limbo. We will talk to several students in the Lehigh Valley about how they have been affected by DACA being rescinded. What does this mean for them and their family? What were their hopes when DACA was intact? And particularly how do they feel studying for a degree that they won’t be able to use if they can’t work legally after they graduate?
I really like the working title you all have. America has done a tremendous disservice to the young men and women in the DACA program and it is important that we continue to advance the discussion around this issue. Based on the nature of your documentary I’m sure you already know there will be a lot of hoops to jump through to get your project done; and I wish you all luck. I look forward to seeing your finished product.
