Breakthrough is an international human rights organization that uses education and popular culture to promote values of dignity, equality and justice to some of the world’s most neglected and marginalized people. And their latest venture is an educational online game that teaches kids about their rights and how to counter the abusive anti-due-process things they have to face being immigrants. Called ICED (”I Can End Deportation”), the object of the game basically is to become a U.S. citizen, and it uses various narrative and interactive methods to demonstrate how inequitable immigration laws deny due process and violate human rights. Since the game is played from the immigrants’ point of view, it has a higher impact and exhibits in no uncertain terms how these discriminatory laws negatively affect all immigrants including legal residents, people escaping persecution, undocumented entrants and even students.
