Immigrant - Coming Soon

Set against the backdrop of a fractured and volatile America, IMMIGRANT follows the story of David Anders, a white, middle-aged man who has always considered himself a model citizen—until the government informs him that he is neither. David, born at home to undocumented parents who neglected to register his birth, finds himself suddenly declared an undocumented immigrant.

With no official proof of citizenship and a lifetime of assumptions unraveling, he finds himself facing deportation to a country he has never known—or indefinite imprisonment in an immigration detention center. As David struggles to navigate an unforgiving system, he becomes entangled with a diverse group of immigrants—refugees, asylum seekers, and undocumented individuals—each with their own battles against a society that has decided they do not belong. Through their stories, IMMIGRANT exposes the harrowing reality that in a nation increasingly driven by fear, no one is safe—not just BIPOC, LGBTQ+, or non-Christian communities, but anyone who does not fit the rigid and ever-changing definition of "American."

Blending documentary-style realism with moments of poetic theatricality, IMMIGRANT challenges audiences to reconsider the meaning of citizenship, identity, and human rights in an era where the very foundations of belonging are under siege. In a time of political and social upheaval, David’s fight is a stark reminder that when systems of oppression go unchecked, they inevitably come for us all.
