Out of Status

 “Out of Status” tells a story of the American Dream through the struggles, hopes, and tragedies shared by Jen and her family.  Theirs is a journey shared by tens of millions of Americans who have uprooted their lives, and immigrated to America with the hope of building a better future than they were able to find in their native countries.  Such a journey is truly the adventure of a lifetime, but unlike in the movies this adventure does not offer the promise of a happy ending.  The only guarantee in the life of an immigrant is that the experience will be challenging, the outcome will be uncertain, and it may take an entire lifetime to feel like you are home again.
