Interviews With Detainees

As part of an ongoing project to express the plight of undocumented migrants in the United States, I spent a day with CAIR Coalition at a regional jail in Virginia, interviewing immigration detainees and recording their stories. This seven-minute short is a product of that day. Since its creation in March 2006, this short has been screened on many occasions, including on the nationally-syndicated television show Democracy Now, for many senatorial staffs on the Hill, at the Washington Regional Media Day of Dialogue, at Busboys and Poets, and at several advocacy group fundraisers.
