Juan speaks with Armando Ibañez, an undocumented queer filmmaker who produces Undocumented Tales, a web series that is loosely based on Armando's experience as a waiter in LA. Armando talks about what is like to be undocumented in the US while working as a server in the food industry and how his love for film helped him feel comfortable about his sexuality. 

"Sometimes I ask my self, How have I last 16 years in the restaurant industry? and then I answer myself--because I don't have fucking papers!", says Armando.
