Show notes

In recent months, immigration storylines have become central plots for a number of TV shows. These writers and producers, along with a representative from the ACLU, discuss the importance and power of story, how they work together to ensure authentic representations of current issues, the impact it has on viewer’s opinions on immigrants, Dreamers, refugees, and deportation, as well as the actions they hope audiences are inspired to take by these fictional characters.

Episode Guests: Mauricio Mota (East Los High), Tanya Saracho (Vida), Gloria Calderon Kellett (One Day at a Time)

Moderator: Lorella Praeli (ACLU Immigration Advocacy Leader)

This conversation is presented with the ACLU and The Syndication Project.
