The No Nos Moveran documentary is a documentary about the lack of access to health care that undocumented immigrants face in Boston and its human cost The film is built out of interviews with people in charge of providing affordable healthcare for undocumented people, conversations with . We also talked to an actual undocumented immigrants who explained here situation, and film shots of.  We also went to take different shots around the Boston area. We took shots of airplanes, cars, people, buildings and water.  The shots represented how diverse is boston and how many different cultures and religion there are. The No Nos Moveran documentary shows the viewer the importance of healthcare.  Helping people who can't receive proper health care because they lack documentation. The documentary helps undocumented immigrants across the nation to overcome fears of deportation and speak up and demand health care. The film will guarantee them safety. Some people debate if undocumented immigrants should receive healthcare . These makes people mad because the answer is clear and it would be inhumane if healthcare was not a right. The film hopes to helps empower undocumented immigrants and reach voters and makers of public policy to encourage them to speak up and stand against policies and regulations that restrict access to healthcare.

A documentary that shows the struggles undocumented immigrants face trying to get healthcare.  The social issue that this project engages is that it is challenging for immigrants to get healthcare and also scary for them to try to get it because they might be scared about the healthcare facility telling ICE and then being deported. But there are places to help them with that fear like MIRA coalition, East Boston Neighborhood Health Center and many more.  This project could help immigrants because if they saw this documentary they would know where to go, to get healthcare. It also helps people understand that healthcare isn’t as easy for some people as you would think it would be. This project could change the world because people would see that immigrants only so many have a few places that they can get good healthcare while not being sent back to their country, and maybe people would create more places that the immigrants can safely access quality get healthcare. This documentary raises the question, should the local community pay more in taxes so immigrants can get healthcare?  This documentary is for anyone who wants to maybe start up somewhere where an immigrant can get healthcare, and also for anyone who wants to learn about where immigrants get healthcare.  This documentary was filmed with Canon camera and then edited on Premiere Pro. This project is innovative because a there are a lot of videos about undocumented immigrants, it’s about the challenges that they go through but this film shows the challenges, the fears, and where they can get help. The user would watch this documentary and see the areas where undocumented immigrants get help some nice b-roll shots and also get to hear what an undocumented immigrant has to say about the struggles about trying to get healthcare

My project is a documentary that shows the struggles immigrants have to go through in order to receive health care. We followed a friend of my group-mate, Fani, around in order to see this challenges in real life because she happens to be an immigrant. We made this project at this time in particular because of the current administration. It is such a controversial subject that really needs another viewpoint on. The vast majority of the time, people never hear the story of the Immigrants and we believe that that is the most important viewpoint. Because of that, we created our documentary.  We interviewed three people for our project, a person from East Boston Neighborhood Health Center and a person from MIRA, as well as Fani. We got a bunch of important information about immigration and health care that was all captured on camera. Using this footage, we created a narrative using Adobe Premier. We made this documentary to educate the audience and would probably be used either in a school setting or online whenever someone wanted to learn more about immigrants and healthcare. We really enjoyed working with the people we worked with, and also working on the project. The story we covered was an important one, and I would enjoy creating another one in the future.
