<i>The Illegal </i></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">is the story of Keita Ali, a young marathon runner who flees a repressive regime in his native Zantoroland and finds shelter in Africtown, a community of undocumented refugees living underground in the
wealthy nation of Freedom State. Keita can only be safe if he keeps moving and eludes the officials who would deport him to his own country, where he would face almost certain death.
