THE DEPORTED

Directed by: T Gordon Stanley
Produced by: Paul Reaney, Scott Weiner, Pat Mcgee, Jenny Daly, Rosario Dawson

Four families on the brink of being torn apart by deportation must decide whether to self-deport, seek sanctuary or file a legal appeal in a last-ditch effort to stay in the country. When it comes to deportation these families have no borders.

The Deported features those All-American individuals who are part of the fabric of every community. They have played high school football, been in the Boy or Girl Scouts, been a cheerleader, coached football, gone to the prom, been valedictorian, joined the military. They may have children, parents, friends, coworkers, lovers - people who care deeply about them. They are pursuing their American Dream. But then an event happens: a misplaced document, a traffic stop, a DUI, a minor drug infraction. This launches a surreal journey that may eventually lead to loss of the right to reside in the U.S. We experience the final stages of the deportation process with them.
