Documented: A Film by an Undocumented American


  • San Francisco, CA (map)

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 re-connects with his mother, whom he hasn’t seen in 20 years. 

"Documented" is a film written and directed by Jose Antonio Vargas, an undocumented American--one of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. It is story about a mother, a son and an American journey.
