"What happens when a person has no country? Citizens of Nowhere is a documentary short about stateless people in the United States individuals who, through circumstance or legal technicality, belong to no nation. Without passports, citizenship or legal recognition, they live in a state of uncertainty. From finding work and accessing education, to simply existing within a system that does not officially recognise them, stateless people face endless bureaucratic barriers. This documentary short by Alicia Sully questions what citizenship really means, and what happens when a person has none."
Stateless individuals in the United States belong to no nation because of circumstance or legal technicality. They lack passports, citizenship and legal recognition, creating pervasive uncertainty and exclusion. The absence of formal status prevents routine access to employment, education and public services and complicates daily life. Stateless people encounter persistent bureaucratic barriers that block social and economic participation. Legal invisibility undermines protection, identity documentation and the ability to plan for the future. The condition prompts fundamental questions about the meaning of citizenship, the responsibilities of states, and avenues for remedy and recognition.
