Immigration has been a long-time frontrunner of political debate, especially with new draconian laws at the US-Mexico border and David Cameron's conservative attempts at reducing entry clearances into the UK. Based on oral histories, individual testimonies and years, Living Illegal' offers textured stories often lost in debate. It tells of real people working and enriching communities even as the political climate worsens. Living 'Illegal' challenges assumptions about why immigrants leave their homes, where they settle and how they have adapted to immigration ordinances.'
