First Year Intermediate Film. 

After a judgment issued by the Dominican government denationalizing thousands of Haitian-Dominicans, many Dominican-Americans face the same faith in New York City.

A Photographer talks about his clients who come to his studio to take portraits to then send to their families back in Dominican Republic. He asks them what they think about the possibility of having an immigration judgment issued by the United States that denationalizes them and deports them.

This short is inspired by the director's thoughts on the TC168 judgment issued by the Dominican government denationalizing thousands of Haitian-Dominicans.
