The Illegal Alien

Overview

Alien Perez Cruz fled from Cuba to the last nation willing to give him paperwork, Uruguay. He is among an exodus that in the last three years has seen over thirty thousand Cubans flee through the jungles of Guyana and Brazil on their way to a better life. In Uruguay, Alien is looking for a future where he can provide for his family. But at home, his family tells a different story. This is the story of a Cuban who risked it all, and the people who supported him that he had to leave behind. It's the story of Alien.
