Summary
“An Unfinished Dream” by Margarita Reyes looks at myths, realities of undocumented students and immigration laws focusing specifically at the phenomenon of AB 540 students in the USA, who are undocumented migrants who have applied and been entitled to pay in-state tuition to universities but who upon graduation are not allowed to legally work. The documentary addresses the on-going barriers they face, their fears and concerns and their plans for the future, post-graduation. For more information please go here.
