Sanctuary City

a senior thesis for David DeRuiter and Lauren Marut

by Martyna Majok

Sanctuary City

Newark, NJ. Post 9/11. Two undocumented high school seniors, G and B. Brought to America as children. Fast friends since 3rd grade. Best friends. 

Whatever it takes to stay and survive they’ll do, for themselves but also each other. So when G is suddenly naturalized, it isn’t a question of if but when B can be too. 

Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Martyna Majok (Cost of Living, Ironbound), Sanctuary City asks us the lengths we’re willing to go for the people we love and what we can afford to risk when everything is on the line.
