What if, even though you’d moved to the US at age six from Ecuador, you grew up thinking you were like every other American boy?
Author, screenwriter and CEO, Rafael Agustin modeled his childhood after the Hollywood TV shows he loved, Batman, Saved By The Bell, Friends and more.
But what would you do if your parents told you that you were undocumented and the life that you’d been living was actually borrowed and not yours for keeps. Would you feel betrayed and hold a grudge against your parents? Or would you see that they were trying to protect you and give you “dreams without borders''?
