Multicultural Engagement Center - SAC 1.102
In 2011, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas outed himself as an undocumented immigrant in an essay published in the New York Times Magazine. Documented chronicles his journey to America from the Philippines as a child; his journey through America as an immigration reform activist; and his journey inward as he re-connects with his mother, whom he hasn't seen in person in over 20 years.
Stick around after the film for a discussion with members of community-based immigrant rights groups, including Grassroots Leadership, Texans United for Families, the Hutto Visitation Program, and the Austin Immigrant Rights Coalition.
