Logline

UNDOCUMENTED

This is a portrait of a young man who was brought to the United States illegally as a child. Between hard physical labor and the freedom offered by the film sets at which he works, it becomes apparent how US immigration policy leaves such young people, and the country as a whole, without a future.
