Status tells the human stories that immigration impacts. 

  • 30 minutes 15 seconds
    #FamiliesBelongTogether

    Over 2 seasons, Status told you the stories of how immigration policy really affects the lives of immigrants.


    In the past few weeks, you saw the worst of those realities in horrifying images of separated families and detained children in the news.


    In this final episode of Status, Matt goes to a protest and a vigil, and a few Status storytellers return to share their hopes for all immigrants in these difficult times.


    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.

    Re-entry (Jonatan, Part 4)

    Colombia (Jonatan, Part 1)

    For as long as I’ve known him, Jonatan has been talking about writing a book. He says he could never write it himself, but he wants to find someone to interview him and write down his life story.


    I don’t write books. That’s not my game. But I make podcasts, and largely due to loving him, the stories I tell are often about people like him.


    Listen to Part 1 of the story that inspired Status.
