Status tells the human stories that immigration impacts.
Somebody might be in the US on an E-1, an H-1B, a J-2, or an F-1. They might be undocumented or they may have their green card. They might be moving to Canada for a job or to the UK to escape violence in their home country.
In any case, every immigrant has a story. We tell those stories and how the complex reality of immigration weaves its way into the narrative.
Status is produced by Matt Horton.

Thank you to Juan, Tyler, and Yaa for contributing to this final episode.

Black Kiss of Death
Eddie entered the US through customs at 14, and he doesn’t remember much about it. He was more interested in seeing his mom who was being treated for cancer.
Then he met Tyler, and all of a sudden it was on him to prove exactly what he didn’t say on a random day in 2002.
