Citizens of Nowhere (ANG)

September 2013. The Court ruling is reached. Almost a quarter million Dominicans of Haitian descent have just become stateless because of the Dominican Constitutional Tribunal's decision. Identified as scapegoats for all problems affecting the country, they have lost everything: their rights, their liberty, their identity.
