Description

Waysland starts with the number one obstacle facing most immigrants; insecurity with speaking English. Meet Teresa, a Brazilian immigrant dreaming of trading her dishwashing job to become the restaurant's hostess. The position opens up and Teresa gets the job with some help from her American roommate, Stella. Her moment of triumph is dashed when ICE agents arrive to arrest her. Stella temporarily diverts them but now Teresa needs a place to crash. The risks of helping her are high; sadly, her community turns its back on her. Stella reminds Teresa that her worth is not based on her immigration status. As she has done before, Teresa regains her strength and finds a way to solve her dilemma.
