*this is a quiet piece--it is not dramatic***
The recent debate in California over allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain driver's licences is not likely to go away any time soon. Yet, with or without licenses, millions of illegal immigrants find ways around the system, living, working and raising children in this country. This is a glimpse into a day in the life of one family without papers in San Franciso.

Review of undocumented
All the pieces are in place for this to be a standout feature about the daily realities of undocumented workers. The characters are strong. The story is important. The imagery is strong. But, the pacing is far too slow, and the voices of the Spanish to English translators are more engaged than the narrator's reading.
