About this episode
New York based not-for-profit theater company Houses on the Moon, and playwright Jeffrey Solomon creates acclaimed documentary plays. DE NOVO recounts the life and death of a Guatemalan teenager, Edgar Chocoy, who was deported after a failed asylum bid in the USA and murdered by the very group he testified would execute him were he to be returned to that country. With help of the NYC City Council, we were able to produce an audio adaptation of DE NOVO, which tells the story in three potent half hour episodes.
They launched their podcast in 2021 and this new series, DE NOVO, tells Edgar’s heart-wrenching story through real-life court transcripts and interviews, shedding light on the plight of unaccompanied alien minors and the human rights issues they face.
