But for the last four years it's been abnormally dry--less rain has been falling later in the season and high temperatures have been breaking records. This pattern is precisely what climate change models predict for Central America as global temperatures rise. It's also what drove Noel to leave his family and cross the border to the U.S. in search of work.

We talked with folks who’ve experienced homelessness when it’s been bitterly cold outside and people who work at homeless advocacy or service organizations. From that information, we developed three “personas.” Each faces a series of everyday events that force them to make decisions about how to manage their health, relationships, and personal values.

She also doesn’t feel truly American — because she’s undocumented. As a high school senior, the discouraging realities of Cruz’s legal status have begun to set in: She’s wary of ever leaving the country to visit Mexico, she’s not sure if she can go to college, or apply for federal aid to make it possible. In this short documentary, Ilse, we follow along as Cruz navigates the process of attempting to be in the United States legally.
