A group of immigrants, many of whom are undocumented, meet weekly in an office building. They initially came together while cleaning up after the Sept. 11 attacks. Since then, some have battled serious health issues, including breast cancer and respiratory disease. These individuals were exposed to toxic debris and psychological trauma during their cleanup work.
The group consists of people in their 50s and 60s who have known each other for approximately 25 years. Many of the workers who cleaned up after the attacks were immigrants, with as many as 6,000 being undocumented.
Further details about their situation and the challenges they face are available from the source.
