THE UNAFRAID is a feature-length documentary that follows the lives of three DACA students in Georgia, a state that has banned them from attending its top public universities, and from qualifying for in-state tuition at any other public college. Using observational footage shot over three years, THE UNAFRAID tells the personal stories of a group of friends connected by an underground movement called Freedom University. Through the stories of Alejandro, Silvia, and Aldo, viewers learn what it's like to be both a young American and undocumented in the U.S. at a time when anti-immigrant sentiment is growing, emboldened by a President who has issued orders to end DACA and restrict immigration. The narratives of their lives will intersect at protests and rallies, and then expand out from this unifying force to the personal daily challenges faced by them and their families. THE UNAFRAID goes beyond the media’s portrayal of the ‘dreamer’ poster child and truly humanizes the experience of undocumented and DACA students, their families and communities.

"The film raises the issues of immigrant rights and the quest for opportunity. The personal stories of these students illuminate their efforts and the need for activism and support. This is an important view on a timely topic to educate and inform the public."
Immigration Law Clinic, University of Texas School of Law | Barbara Hines, Clinical Professor of Law
"This is an insightful and moving film about the obstacles facing youth who have lived their entire lives in the US. It will serve as a useful teaching tool for introducing and discussing immigration issues that divide our country."
California Lutheran University | Cynthia V. Duarte, Director, Center for Equality and Justice, Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology
"The documentary THE UNAFRAID is an intimate look at the lives of DREAMers in the state of Georgia. We watch them fight for their dignity, access to education and future as Georgians and Americans... Caught in the middle of a political storm, they carve out their lives of work, family, school and activism, trying to secure a future for themselves and those around them."
Villanova University | Raúl Diego Rivera Hernández, Assistant Professor of Contemporary Mexican Literature & Latin American Studies
"THE UNAFRAID is a powerful, timely and a must-watch documentary about three brave DACA students, Silvia, Aldo and Alejandro, banned by the state of Georgia from attending top public universities at in-state tuition rates... Masterfully directed by Anayansi Prado and Heather Courtney, THE UNAFRAID creates a cinematic landscape in which the personal is more political than ever, and unapologetically draws the viewers’ attention to a striking reality knocking at our doors."
Chiricú Journal: Latina/o Literatures, Arts, and Cultures | Jimmy Patiño, Professor of Chicano & Latino Studies at University of Minnesota
“[T]he film inspires and informs through centering the voices of the youth themselves, highlighting moments of community strength and brilliance. It does this while demonstrating the brutal limitations that anti-immigration laws create, and ends with important questions and unresolved situations for Silvia, Aldo, and Alejandro—revealing that this regime negatively represses many lives in our community and, according to the youth most affected, their politicization is what they hold onto dearly in looking to the future."

It\'s the nursing curriculum.
00:05:15.415 --> 00:05:18.083
And it says usually
it takes a year,
00:05:18.084 --> 00:05:19.851
but for me it might take two,
00:05:19.852 --> 00:05:21.387
if not more.
00:05:23.523 --> 00:05:26.592
Just because I have to
put so much money into it.
00:05:36.002 --> 00:05:40.573
It\'s like 89 per credit,
for those who have in-state.

But for me it\'s like,
00:05:43.710 --> 00:05:46.846
let me see what the
math would be.
00:05:48.815 --> 00:05:50.416
I don\'t think so.
00:05:51.250 --> 00:05:52.718
It sounds too little.
00:05:52.719 --> 00:05:55.054
I mean, I feel like
it should be more.
00:05:59.292 --> 00:06:01.259
Do you, by any chance,
know the number
00:06:01.260 --> 00:06:02.594
off the top of your head,
00:06:02.595 --> 00:06:06.264
how much it\'s per credit
for international students?
00:06:06.265 --> 00:06:09.968
[Clerk] Yes, $344
per credit hour.
00:06:09.969 --> 00:06:11.169
- 344?
00:06:11.170 --> 00:06:13.572
[Clerk] It\'s, well the reason,
before you write that,
00:06:13.573 --> 00:06:15.373
that\'s just the tuition part.
00:06:15.374 --> 00:06:16.708
- Yeah, I know.
00:06:16.709 --> 00:06:18.276
[Clerk] I didn\'t include
the fees.
00:06:18.277 --> 00:06:19.478
- Yeah, I know.
00:06:19.479 --> 00:06:21.279
[Clerk] So if you just
take one class
00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:23.482
at three credit hours, for you,
00:06:23.483 --> 00:06:27.687
for an international student,
is $1,352.

I help you with?
00:06:44.070 --> 00:06:48.473
- I just had a couple
questions on the financial aid.
00:06:48.474 --> 00:06:49.574
- Okay.
00:06:49.575 --> 00:06:51.977
- I\'m a DACA recipient.
00:06:51.978 --> 00:06:55.213
- And is that a form of
asylum, is that what you?
00:06:55.214 --> 00:06:57.316
[Silvia] It\'s a work permit.
00:06:58.017 --> 00:06:59.684
- Okay, so what is your
citizenship status?
00:06:59.685 --> 00:07:02.521
You have a work permit,
but your status is?
00:07:02.522 --> 00:07:03.422
- It\'s unlawful.
00:07:03.423 --> 00:07:04.623
- Unlawful citizen.
- Yeah.
00:07:04.624 --> 00:07:07.392
- So you\'re undocumented,
which means that
00:07:07.393 --> 00:07:10.095
you will have international
fees assessed,
00:07:10.096 --> 00:07:12.931
and you would not be eligible
for federal assistance
00:07:12.932 --> 00:07:15.967
because of the type
of student you are.
00:07:15.968 --> 00:07:18.470
The only other option
you could look into
00:07:18.471 --> 00:07:19.971
would be private student loans,
00:07:19.972 --> 00:07:22.908
and that would depend on
the private student lender.
00:07:22.909 --> 00:07:25.243
And if any don\'t lend to
undocumented students,
00:07:25.244 --> 00:07:28.280
then that would be,
unfortunately,
00:07:28.281 --> 00:07:31.183
100% out-of-pocket.

00:22:29.848 --> 00:22:33.451
so it\'s like, where does
that put me, dude, you know?
00:22:33.452 --> 00:22:34.885
[Student] So you came
when you were how old?
00:22:34.886 --> 00:22:38.522
- Two years old, I\'m official
southerner so...
00:22:38.523 --> 00:22:41.126
sweet tea and everything.
[laughs]
00:22:42.127 --> 00:22:43.694
I have a website too,
you wanna check it out?
00:22:43.695 --> 00:22:46.530
[Student] Yeah that, oh my god,
that\'s beautiful.
00:22:46.531 --> 00:22:47.665
[Student] That\'s beautiful.
00:22:47.666 --> 00:22:48.999
- That\'s one of my most
recent ones.
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:51.068
[Student] I\'m gonna have to
follow you on Instagram.
00:22:51.069 --> 00:22:52.871
Alright, put in your name here.
00:22:53.805 --> 00:23:01.413
[happy music]
00:23:02.080 --> 00:23:03.647
- I think their might
be dozens of reason
00:23:03.648 --> 00:23:05.683
why you\'d wanna go to
your local university
00:23:05.684 --> 00:23:09.787
and that\'s the one that you\'re
being banned from, right?
00:23:09.788 --> 00:23:14.191
But Berea is a much more
specific kind of institution.
00:23:14.192 --> 00:23:16.927
Berea has a real
radical tradition.
00:23:16.928 --> 00:23:19.430
Back when there was
slavery in Kentucky,
00:23:19.431 --> 00:23:20.731
these were the people saying,
00:23:20.732 --> 00:23:22.867
\"This is immoral,
this is wrong.\"
00:23:22.868 --> 00:23:25.302
So they really wanna
know about you
00:23:25.303 --> 00:23:26.804
and about what you wanna do
00:23:26.805 --> 00:23:29.440
with the education that
you would get there.
00:23:29.441 --> 00:23:31.842
- Okay, I wanna get
into sociology,
00:23:31.843 --> 00:23:34.779
that\'s what opened me up
into activism at first.
00:23:34.780 --> 00:23:37.748
How it\'s not just
like a single event,
00:23:37.749 --> 00:23:40.584
oppression has happened
for years, for years,
00:23:40.585 --> 00:23:45.022
so I would to use
that to help others.
00:23:45.023 --> 00:23:46.891
[Bethany] I mean, this
is a great fit for y\'all
00:23:46.892 --> 00:23:50.427
because they see you as
being in the tradition
00:23:50.428 --> 00:23:53.330
of the kind of radicalism
and the kind of
00:23:53.331 --> 00:23:56.101
antiracist work that they do.
00:24:03.675 --> 00:24:06.143
[Alejandro] I call this one.
- There\'s two beds in here.
00:24:06.144 --> 00:24:09.915
- Mine, mine, mine, whoever
wants to share, mine.
00:24:10.916 --> 00:24:13.450
I like how everything
matches everything, you know.
00:24:13.451 --> 00:24:14.920
This is cool colors.
00:24:15.754 --> 00:24:18.723
- It\'s exciting, especially
being with my mom.
00:24:31.937 --> 00:24:34.338
- I\'ll probably wake up
at five in the morning.
00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:36.040
[Alejandro] Me too.
00:24:36.041 --> 00:24:39.978
[dryer blowing]
00:24:44.416 --> 00:24:47.219
[Activists] One, two,
three, undocumented!
00:24:48.386 --> 00:24:50.222
And unafraid.
00:24:58.063 --> 00:24:59.196
- Aldo?
00:24:59.197 --> 00:25:02.499
[indistinct chatter]
00:25:02.500 --> 00:25:03.567
[Counselor] Silvia?
00:25:03.568 --> 00:25:06.170
[indistinct chatter]
00:25:06.171 --> 00:25:09.039
[Female] It went well, I
just feel like it was so short.
00:25:09.040 --> 00:25:14.411
[indistinct chatter]
00:25:14.412 --> 00:25:15.814
[Counselor] Alejandro?
00:25:16.281 --> 00:25:17.648
- Alright.
00:25:17.649 --> 00:25:25.649
[indistinct chatter]
00:25:27.626 --> 00:25:31.328
[applause]
00:25:31.329 --> 00:25:33.198
[laughter]
00:25:33.932 --> 00:25:36.334
- I know, it was so unexpected.
00:25:38.570 --> 00:25:40.205
Oh my god.
00:25:42.574 --> 00:25:44.309
[applause]
00:25:45.310 --> 00:25:46.311
- Oh, lord.
00:25:47.312 --> 00:25:48.579
- How\'d it go, man?
00:25:48.580 --> 00:25:51.315
- It went-I think it went
pretty good, you know.
00:25:51.316 --> 00:25:54.251
The last question is like, \"What
do you have to offer Berea?\"
00:25:54.252 --> 00:25:57.121
And I just brought up everything
that we\'ve been through
00:25:57.122 --> 00:25:59.556
and it\'s just like,
00:25:59.557 --> 00:26:00.958
all of the hardships
that we\'ve been through
00:26:00.959 --> 00:26:02.693
and then what we\'re trying to do
00:26:02.694 --> 00:26:05.429
and how like, that is what
we have to offer, you know?
00:26:05.430 --> 00:26:08.032
We\'ve been through so much and
that\'s what we have to offer
00:26:08.033 --> 00:26:10.702
because we\'ve been
through the struggle.
00:26:11.836 --> 00:26:13.638
So, you know, that\'s why.
00:26:16.241 --> 00:26:17.108
Yeah.
00:26:17.109 --> 00:26:21.313
[indistinct chatter]
00:26:21.513 --> 00:26:22.981
Okay.
00:26:24.182 --> 00:26:25.582
- Come here, man.
00:26:25.583 --> 00:26:33.583
[indistinct chatter]
00:26:34.025 --> 00:26:35.025
- Man.
00:26:36.194 --> 00:26:44.194
[dramatic music]
00:26:45.203 --> 00:26:46.337
It just got too much.
00:26:46.338 --> 00:26:48.106
It became too much, honestly.
00:26:51.076 --> 00:26:52.843
\'Cause I had to
illustrate everything
00:26:52.844 --> 00:26:55.647
that\'s been happening.
00:26:57.816 --> 00:26:59.750
How I got into this situation,
00:26:59.751 --> 00:27:02.754
why I\'m an undocumented person.
00:27:06.124 --> 00:27:07.891
And it\'s like
sometimes people don\'t
00:27:07.892 --> 00:27:09.893
even understand what that means
00:27:09.894 --> 00:27:12.429
and sometimes those people are
00:27:12.430 --> 00:27:15.166
the people that are in it,
like me.
00:27:19.004 --> 00:27:23.040
From always knowing
I\'m illegal, whatever,
00:27:23.041 --> 00:27:27.212
to, \"Hey, there\'s a bunch of
laws that are now against you.\"
00:27:30.448 --> 00:27:34.585
Just knowing that there are
people that are purposely out
00:27:34.586 --> 00:27:36.955
to make your day miserable...
00:27:38.323 --> 00:27:42.092
to make your life less.
00:27:42.093 --> 00:27:46.764
[somber music]
00:27:46.765 --> 00:27:50.835
I honestly don\'t know what
the future holds for me
00:27:51.603 --> 00:27:54.039
but I know
00:27:55.507 --> 00:28:00.444
that I didn\'t just travel
hundreds and thousands of miles,
00:28:00.445 --> 00:28:04.048
my parents didn\'t just wake
up one morning and like,
00:28:04.049 --> 00:28:07.118
\"Hey, let\'s go be illegals,\"
or whatever.
00:28:08.286 --> 00:28:10.221
They didn\'t decide that.
00:28:13.091 --> 00:28:16.127
There\'s gotta be a
reason why I\'m here.
00:28:19.130 --> 00:28:27.130
[birds chirping]
00:28:28.273 --> 00:28:33.745
[birds chirping]
00:28:34.245 --> 00:28:36.848
I got these two packets
from Berea.
00:28:37.282 --> 00:28:39.084
They\'re first class.
00:28:48.726 --> 00:28:50.395
[paper tearing]
00:29:10.515 --> 00:29:13.283
[Alejandro\'s Mother] Yeah!
00:29:13.284 --> 00:29:14.351
- Yeah!
00:29:14.352 --> 00:29:17.355
[Alejandro\'s Mother]
Congratulations, Alejandro!
00:29:48.853 --> 00:29:52.490
- Congratulations, you have...
I\'m sorry.
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:10.308
- Look at that, that\'s
ridiculous, man.
00:30:14.012 --> 00:30:15.646
Every single person
that\'s commenting.
00:30:15.647 --> 00:30:17.047
[laughs]
00:30:17.048 --> 00:30:25.048
[gentle piano music]
00:30:25.857 --> 00:30:29.226
- I just spoke to Berea
00:30:29.227 --> 00:30:32.063
and my application got denied.
00:30:36.601 --> 00:30:38.335
Back to the drawing board.
00:30:38.336 --> 00:30:41.405
[Uncle] Denied it?
- Yeah, well, I mean,
00:30:41.406 --> 00:30:43.775
oh well, we\'ll keep fighting,
right, don\'t give up.
00:30:44.409 --> 00:30:46.109
[Uncle] Yeah, don\'t give up.
- Yeah, there we go.
00:30:46.110 --> 00:30:48.613
- Never give up, never.
00:30:49.514 --> 00:30:51.215
- Yeah, I mean, my family,
00:30:51.216 --> 00:30:52.749
we\'ve always fought
different struggles
00:30:52.750 --> 00:30:55.220
and we\'ve never given up.
00:30:56.521 --> 00:30:58.722
We\'re just a family of survivors
00:30:58.723 --> 00:31:00.525
and are fighting the struggle.
00:31:01.626 --> 00:31:09.626
[gentle piano music]
00:31:37.528 --> 00:31:45.528
[somber music]
00:32:16.100 --> 00:32:17.235
- Wow.
[Alejandro] Yeah.
00:33:34.812 --> 00:33:36.980
[Aldo] My application
got denied.
00:33:36.981 --> 00:33:38.915
- So you\'re going back...
- To work.
00:33:38.916 --> 00:33:40.350
- Huh?
- Work.
00:33:40.351 --> 00:33:42.720
- Work.
- To save up more money.
00:33:44.021 --> 00:33:45.323
- Okay.
00:34:42.180 --> 00:34:48.986
[dramatic music]
00:34:49.387 --> 00:34:51.621
- Throughout high school,
when they started
00:34:51.622 --> 00:34:54.458
tracking down more
undocumented immigrants,
00:34:54.459 --> 00:34:57.328
I realized that I had no future.
00:34:59.430 --> 00:35:02.365
My uncles will try to take
me to protests and stuff
00:35:02.366 --> 00:35:05.469
and I\'ll just shrug it off,
like, what\'s the point?
00:35:05.470 --> 00:35:08.272
I\'m not gonna make it here,
they don\'t want me here.
00:35:11.976 --> 00:35:17.314
But then my Uncle Beto didn\'t
give up and he kept nudging on
00:35:17.315 --> 00:35:20.918
and he was the reason
why I\'m an activist now.
00:35:22.386 --> 00:35:25.523
And like him, I\'ll fight
for the next generation.
00:35:26.724 --> 00:35:34.724
[dramatic music]
00:35:40.171 --> 00:35:41.771
- Before, I thought
I would try to get
00:35:41.772 --> 00:35:44.007
a scholarship out of state.
00:35:44.008 --> 00:35:45.910
And that was the plan, right?
00:35:47.778 --> 00:35:51.081
But now I realize
I\'m stuck in Georgia,
00:35:51.082 --> 00:35:53.817
and I\'m undocumented,
00:35:53.818 --> 00:35:56.354
so I can\'t stop organizing.
00:35:57.622 --> 00:36:00.757
- I am a DACA
recipient and I have
00:36:00.758 --> 00:36:03.493
been attending Georgia
public schools,
00:36:03.494 --> 00:36:06.129
kindergarten through 12th grade.
00:36:06.130 --> 00:36:08.265
- I started working
when I was 13
00:36:08.266 --> 00:36:09.733
but because of out-of-state
tuition,
00:36:09.734 --> 00:36:13.537
I was only able to do one
semester at a community college.
00:36:13.538 --> 00:36:15.205
- I reside in Georgia
where I have been
00:36:15.206 --> 00:36:17.073
since I was two years old.
00:36:17.074 --> 00:36:19.042
That\'s where I wanted to stay,
that\'s where I grew up,
00:36:19.043 --> 00:36:21.378
that\'s where all
my friends were.
00:36:21.379 --> 00:36:23.079
I would\'ve followed
their footsteps
00:36:23.080 --> 00:36:25.282
and gone to UGA or GSU or UNG,
00:36:25.283 --> 00:36:26.917
I would\'ve wanted that for us.
00:36:26.918 --> 00:36:31.488
- Fellow committee members,
I bring to you Senate Bill 44
00:36:31.489 --> 00:36:34.524
and this provides
that students who have
00:36:34.525 --> 00:36:38.428
what\'s called a DACA, or a DACA,
00:36:38.429 --> 00:36:42.733
those students would be
considered for in state tuition.
00:36:44.302 --> 00:36:45.503
[Senator] Okay.
00:36:47.605 --> 00:36:49.706
- You could have some of the
nicest illegal immigrants
00:36:49.707 --> 00:36:52.442
in the world come
under this program
00:36:52.443 --> 00:36:57.414
or you could have a 40-year-old
Muslim so-called student
00:36:57.415 --> 00:36:59.583
who has slipped over his visa
00:36:59.584 --> 00:37:01.284
and we don\'t know who they are,
00:37:01.285 --> 00:37:02.586
and that\'s the point, really,
00:37:02.587 --> 00:37:04.754
we don\'t know who a lot
of these people are.
00:37:04.755 --> 00:37:07.891
And I think sometimes we
forget that we are
00:37:07.892 --> 00:37:10.427
involved in a war on terror
and we have to be
00:37:10.428 --> 00:37:12.662
cognizant as to who people are.
00:37:12.663 --> 00:37:15.065
And after all, these
are undocumented,
00:37:15.066 --> 00:37:16.466
although I have to
stop myself there
00:37:16.467 --> 00:37:17.934
because these are
some of the most
00:37:17.935 --> 00:37:19.369
documented people in the world
00:37:19.370 --> 00:37:22.105
except, Mister Chairmen,
they\'re all fake documents.
00:37:22.106 --> 00:37:25.041
So I would recommend, humbly,
to just crumple up the bill,
00:37:25.042 --> 00:37:28.045
throw it in the wastebasket,
and move on to other things.
00:37:29.847 --> 00:37:30.881
[Senator] Okay.
00:37:34.118 --> 00:37:35.586
- Hello.
00:37:36.554 --> 00:37:37.887
Sorry, I\'m really nervous.
00:37:37.888 --> 00:37:39.122
My name is Silvia.
00:37:39.123 --> 00:37:41.858
I arrived to the United States
when I was five years old.
00:37:41.859 --> 00:37:46.696
I attended Georgia\'s public
schools, I graduated in 2013,
00:37:46.697 --> 00:37:50.033
and let me tell you, when I
received DACA, I took a risk.
00:37:50.034 --> 00:37:52.702
Not only for me,
but for my family.
00:37:52.703 --> 00:37:58.708
They knew my address, they
could\'ve easily go to my house,
00:37:58.709 --> 00:38:03.046
so to say that they don\'t
know where we are, it\'s a lie,
00:38:03.047 --> 00:38:04.848
because they know who we are.
00:38:04.849 --> 00:38:08.118
They also gave us a pin
number to file taxes,
00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:12.122
my parents, my grandparents,
and my peers paid their taxes.
00:38:12.123 --> 00:38:16.360
We contribute to this community
just as much as anyone does.
00:38:20.765 --> 00:38:25.669
I can not explain the
face of my mother,
00:38:25.670 --> 00:38:28.406

is being diagnosed

has six months to a year

before he has to
go into dialysis
01:14:03.839 --> 01:14:07.542

And since my
father\'s undocumented,
01:14:21.623 --> 01:14:26.060
it\'s a good plan and
we\'re a low income family.
01:14:26.061 --> 01:14:31.032
So my question is, how long do
we have to live in California

benefit from Medi-Cal?

five points to 15.

01:15:01.563 --> 01:15:04.832
I had to withdraw

your dad have any income?

- Well, he\'s been out
of a job for awhile
01:15:14.743 --> 01:15:19.013
because of his disease he\'s
unable to work in the heat
01:15:19.014 --> 01:15:21.682
and Georgia\'s very
hot so he can\'t,
01:15:21.683 --> 01:15:24.720
he doesn\'t really have a job.
01:15:25.320 --> 01:15:26.821
Although my dad will tell me,
01:15:26.822 --> 01:15:28.990
don\'t hold your
life \'cause of me,
01:15:28.991 --> 01:15:33.161

of my dad as well.

it\'s an either this or that.

gonna be there

be there for family.
01:15:53.749 --> 01:15:55.082

other question is,
01:15:55.083 --> 01:15:58.219
do you currently have
Medicaid in Georgia.
01:15:58.220 --> 01:16:00.821

we\'re undocumented,
