Like Mateo's and Angela's narratives, in this episode, we hear the final raw and fascinating narrative. As we close the first season of the LEP, we meet Anthony, whose story reveals the enduring pain that comes with being forcibly returned to the other side of the of the border.

In this episode, we meet Angela, whose story introduces us to the nature of ambivalence and the ironies of love and connection.

In this episode, we meet Mateo who risked leaving his family behind in pursuit of the American Dream. Like immigrants before him, his story reveals just how this American Dream has been transformed since its inception.

This episode introduces Nicole, a social worker, wife, and mom confronted with the realities of the undocumented immigrant experience in her own home. From practice to personal experience, Nicole's story leads us into an enriching discussion of identity and othering. 

This episode introduces the many facets of the undocumented immigrantion debate. We consider historical roots, theoretical assumptions, and ask the compelling question of how a nuanced approach might shift the conversation from political to personal.
