Law Enforcement Leaders Read DREAMer Stories is a film of Motus Theater’s internationally unprecedented performance in which law enforcement and public safety leaders in Boulder County took to the stage to read the autobiographical monologues of community members who are undocumented. In this acclaimed performance, five police chiefs and the local Sheriff and District Attorney concerned with issues of public safety stood in solidarity with DACA recipients to disrupt the false association between criminality and immigration status. This performance boldly illustrates that all people, regardless of documentation status, deserve the full protection of the law.

“Standing beside these young people, and reading their stories was moving for all of us, and powerful for the audience… Barriers were broken down, relationships formed, and mutual respect established.  Relationship building like this, using this format, could probably solve a lot of various issues in many communities across this country!”  

— Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle

Motus invites you to collaborate with your local law enforcement and immigration leaders to host a screening of Law Enforcement Leaders Read DREAMer Stories at your school, church or community space, and follow it with a community conversation.

“This film will help develop an important narrative that refutes the myth that there is a correlation between documentation status and being a criminal.”

— BOULDER COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY, STAN GARNETT
