Documented - a film on Sunday, Oct 25 at 6:30pm

Welcome to 4 days of remarkable immigrant-themed films at 16 venues across DC region

Welcome to the Greater Washington Immigration Filmfest 2015!  Four days of remarkable immigrant-themed films at 16 venues across the DC region ... films that put a human face on immigration! 

The film, Documented, will be shown on Sunday, October 25 at 6:30pm at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fairfax, 2709 Hunter Mill Road in Oakton, VA. 

Documented explores what is an illegal immigrant, especially for children who come to the U.S. without proper documents.   In 2011, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas outed himself as an undocumented immigrant in the New York Times Magazine.  Documented chronicles his journey to America from the Philippines as a child; his journey through America as an immigration reform activist/provocateur; and his journey inward as he reconnects with his mother, whom he hasn't seen in 20 years.
