The purpose of this video was to explore how deferred action has impacted undocumented students at WSU and what DACA means for them going forward. Essentially, I wanted to capture pieces of their personal stories, but I hoped to retain focus on the changing world of immigration policies. By incorporating news footage with interviews and footage of these students at work, I hoped to show the importance of immigration reform. This topic has great relevancy and impact in our community and country, two of the main reasons why I chose it. Overall, the video allowed me to capture the humanity behind the faces of those embattled in our country’s immigration system.
