"Finding Home con DACA" is an award-winning three-part series from LAist Studios and How To LA, following host Brian de Los Santos as he receives special permission to travel to Mexico – his country of birth – for the first time in 30 years.
I wrote and produced this series in close collaboration with Brian using found sound from his trip, interviews with legal experts, and stylized recreations of key moments.
