In Alienated, we meet Licia, a determined young woman from St. Vincent who commutes from Brooklyn to New Jersey to work as a nanny for $4 an hour. Meanwhile, anti-immigrant groups rally around lobbying efforts that seek to impose ever harsher policies and to “protect our borders.” Through interviews with individuals on both sides of the immigration debate, Alienated examines what it means to be young, able and “illegal” in America.
