Today, PBS will premiere the new film "American Exile” about the lives of military veterans, deported from the United States after their service, because of their immigration status. The documentary was a collaborative effort between Burning Box Studio and WKAR Public Media at Michigan State University. Military service is such a huge part of the stories we tell ourselves about who belongs in this country.  What happens when the government decides that, even as a veteran, you don’t belong here? GUESTS: Carleen Hsu is a journalism professor at MSU, and editor of documentary "American Exile." John Valadez is a journalism professor at MSU and production director of the documentary "American Exile." Manuel Valenzuela is a Vietnam War veteran at the center of the documentary "American Exile." -- Looking for more conversations from Stateside? Right this way.
