Sparked by backlash to a neo-Nazi rally and a stream of strict anti-immigrant laws passing in Arizona, a group of activists organize to build Phoenix Allies for Community Health, a unique free clinic serving undocumented immigrants. The film follows their journey, delves into the heart and history of the clinic, and chronicles the poignant stories of undocumented patients as well as their courage and resilience. SALUD SIN PAPELES - HEALTH UNDOCUMENTED captures the inspirational birth of a local grassroots movement, full of beautiful human portraits including those of doctors, nurses, and activists who would stop at nothing to make a difference.
Followed by a Q&A with Director Juan Freitez and Anna Hill, Staff Attorney, Michigan Immigrants Rights Center; Dr. Rosalie Lochner, Co-Founder and Head of Michigan Support Circle; and Spring Quinones, Bilingual Outreach Worker, Washtenaw Health Plan.

Cinetopia Film Festival is presented with major support from the Knight Foundation and Michigan Medicine.
