About This Movie

COVER/AGE is this deeply affecting documentary that really digs into the struggles faced by undocumented immigrants when it comes to healthcare. It centers on two main characters, an elderly caregiver and a policy advocate, and their experiences are both personal and political. The pacing is quite deliberate, which allows you to sit with the emotional weight of the stories shared. The film does a good job of highlighting the systemic issues involved, often letting the characters’ raw emotions speak for themselves rather than relying heavily on narration or statistics. It's the sort of film that lingers with you long after it ends, making you think about the broader implications of healthcare access and immigration policy in a very human context.
