Undocumented: A Worker's Fight
This is the story of Mexican workers who have come to the United States illegally. These men and women every day join the work force and contribute positively to society. The story is told via the ancient Mixtec codice--accordion fold--format. Juan crosses over into the United States and becomes an undocumented worker. Though he is able to get a job as a busboy at a restaurant, he is severely undercompensated--he receives less than half of the minimum wage! Juan risks everything and stands up for himself and the rest of the community.
