Don’t Tell Anyone (No Le Digas a Nadie) Film & Discussion

A public showing of the film Don't Tell Anyone (No Le Digas a Nadie) 75 min. brings to light several issues regarding one woman's story. Angy Rivera had two crucial secrets in her life. The first was that she was an undocumented child living with her mother and siblings in New York City for 19 years.
