Don't Tell Anyone (No Le Digas a Nadie) (2015) Campaign Concerns: 2016 Election Film Series/Gender Film Series
At the age of four, Angy Rivera arrived with her mother in the United States, fleeing violence, poverty and civil war in their native Colombia. For twenty years, they have lived in the shadows, struggling to stay afloat financially and avoid deportation while battling a complex and inequitable immigration system. Unable to pay tuition for college and facing an uncertain future, Angy joins the youth-led New York State Youth Leadership Council (YLC) and becomes an activist for undocumented youth. Don’t Tell Anyone (No Le Digas a Nadie) follows Rivera’s remarkable journey from poverty in rural Colombia to the front page of The New York Times.
