Living Stateless

Living Stateless follows the lives of undocumented Filipino migrants living in the Malaysian state of Sabah. Fleeing conflict in the southern Philippines, thousands have migrated across Malaysia's porous sea borders. Following two families through their day-to-day lives, this documentary explores statelessness and the consequences it has on the generations of people living unrecognized as citizens of any country. After years of searching for peace and economic stability, they are vulnerable once again when insurgency hits Sabah.
