How about some real reality TV?

While their citizenship fates still remained mired in political debates, immigrant youth and artists with Dreamers Adrift, a groundbreaking creative arts project, is producing a brilliant series of videos and theatrical works on the reality of daily life — from working, dating, studying, driving, among other aspects — for undocumented youth today.
