Film: Paper Children (Niños de papel): Inside America’s Overwhelmed Asylum System

Love brings a family together. Will a system tear them apart?

Una familia unida por amor. ¿Logrará un sistema separarlos?

Every year, tens of thousands of unaccompanied children flee violence in Central America to seek asylum in the US. The journey is never easy– and once they arrive, there are no guarantees that they’ll be able to stay. Paper Children follows one family’s struggle to build a better future in America despite overwhelming circumstances.

This event is part of El Grito, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Sponsored by CIES.
