Rubí: A DACA Dreamer in Trump's America

This film is an intimate true-life portrait of 22-year-old Rubí, an undocumented Mexican-American DACA DREAMer. In revealing interviews filmed over three years, Rubí and her parents (also undocumented) recount their family’s harrowing immigration story and detail why they came to the United States with their then-7-year-old daughter.
