After the AgriProcessors raid in Postville, an ensemble of Guatemalan and Mexican workers created this play to share their experiences of immigration, arrest, and imprisonment. La Historia de Nuestras Vidas (The Story of Our Lives) combines the narratives of seven men detained in the May 12th raid, all of whom were temporarily relocated to nearby Decorah, Iowa following their six-month period of imprisonment.

With the support of artists and organizers in the Decorah community, the group formed Teatro Indocumentado (Undocumented Theater) and collaborated together in the creation and performance of this very timely, engaging, and socially-relevant play. La Historia de Nuestras Vidas provides a rare and remarkable insight into the pressing issues and personal consequences of U.S. immigration policy and the Postville raid. Through stage imagery and dramatic reenactments, the ensemble transcends the language barrier and gives presence to the hopes, necessities, and disappointments of countless immigrant workers.
