"Living Undocumented" is a 2019 documentary series on Netflix that follows the lives of eight undocumented immigrant families living in the United States. They come from six different countries, including one family from Israel, and have a variety of problems with their immigration status. The families participated at their own risk in the hopes that sharing their personal stories would move people to create change. In addition to the absorbing family stories, the documentary provides background information on the policies that have shaped the immigration experience.

As a story in New York magazine notes, “Living Undocumented goes inside the experience of life as an undocumented immigrant in the United States with unprecedented intimacy.” The series created so much interest that an internet search for “Living Undocumented” turns up a number of follow-up stories responding to viewer questions about “where are they now?”

Please join us for discussions jointly sponsored by the TBE Immigrant and Refugee Rights Action Team and the Dane Sanctuary Coalition. The first Zoom discussion will be on Tuesday, March 22, 7:00–8:30 pm and will cover episodes 1–3. The second will cover episodes 4–6 and will be held on Sunday, April 3, 3:00–4:30 pm. We hope people will choose to watch the whole excellent series, but we would certainly like participants to view at least one of the first three episodes and one of the last three. Register now for either or both discussions. If you’d like to participate but do not have access to Netflix, please contact Lynn Silverman or Erica Serlin
