MyAmerica
Benefit CD to raise money for film by and about immigrant youth
“My America” CD release: July 4, 2009
CHiTT Productions has produced a benefit CD for Papers― a forthcoming full-length documentary by and about undocumented youth.
The CD, titled “My America,” is an independent music compilation. It features the work of emcees, spoken word artists, DJs and musicians from communities across the U.S., including the Bay Area, Denver, Albuquerque, Minneapolis, and Harlem.
This diverse collection of poetry and music addresses race, gender, and social class issues, challenging dominant notions of immigration, democracy and citizenship. All proceeds will go the making and distribution of Papers, which will begin screening in U.S. cities in September, 2009.
Papers is a story about undocumented youth and the challenges they face as they turn 18 without legal status. Currently, there are about two million undocumented children who were born outside the U.S. but raised in this country.
Graham Street Productions is producing the film in partnership with Film Action Oregon. They are working in collaboration with youth who want to tell their stories and community organizations around the country who are working to change immigration policy on behalf of these young people. Youth are actively involved in all aspects of the production.

Supporters can purchase the CD and make tax deductible donations on the website. Individuals, schools, and organizations interested in co-hosting a screening of the film can also contact Graham Street Productions via the website.
