Undocumented and Awkward Video Series: Dreamers Adrift Is the Nation's Most Real Reality TV Show (VIDEO)

How about some real reality TV?

While their citizenship fates still remained mired in political debates, immigrant youth and artists with Dreamers Adrift, a groundbreaking creative arts project, is producing a brilliant series of videos and theatrical works on the reality of daily life -- from working, dating, studying, driving, among other aspects -- for undocumented youth today.

"A creative project ABOUT undocumented youth BY undocumented youth FOR undocumented youth," Dreamers Adrift notes, "We are trying to document the undocumented through videos, art, music, spoken word, prose and poetry. Four lives. Four college grads. Representing one DREAM for countless others."

Check out a few sample videos here:

These videos are a wonderful way into the lives of students who are usually pushed into the shadows. Very happy that they're getting the attention they deserve.

Unfortunately, the "reality" aspect of it would never show them having respect for our immigration laws. It couldn't because they don't.

Unfortunately, the "reality" is that while these folks are out doing something constructive and productive, you'll be on the Huff Post, trolling your sad little life away. Stay classy.
