Stateless

What would it feel like to have no identity connected with your place of birth? to be refused association with that place by the government? I don't put a whole lot of weight in my identity as an American because it has always been secondary to my identity as a child of God, but what if my US citizenship was stripped away...

Imagine having to prove you were born somewhere when all you have is a scribble of your birthdate on a scrap, or being stranded in a country that refuses to recognize you, or any of your rights...the Sudanese in Egypt, the Rohingya in Bangladesh, Palestinians in Canada, Filipinos in Malaysia....according to this article from the International Herald Tribune, there are at least 15 million of these stateless people in the world.

Greg Constantine is a photographer who has been following the Rohingya people's struggle and describes it a bit in this video.
