Finding Shelter tells the stories of several unaccompanied minors seeking refuge in the US and how their real life experiences were made into an internationally acclaimed play in 2016. The new documentary focuses on the young immigrants whose real-life experiences informed the play. Some of them were former students at Sotomayor, where the premiere screening of the film took place.
