Undeportables collective was founded by a group of undocumented youth in 2012, who came together on the UCLA college campus and realized immigrant stories in the media didn’t reflect the full spectrum of our humanity.
We used humor, drama, satire, documentary, and everything in between to bring about awareness of real-life issues of the immigrant experience through film.
The team was made up of mostly untrained writers, actors, and filmmakers. Below are some samples of our work.
