The first Trump administration tried to shut down immigration to the United States, and even with no changes to the actual law, they nearly succeeded. Things didn't get much better when Biden came into office. But activist lawyers, mostly women, made it their mission to defend people's legal right to seek safety and refuge under our asylum laws. During the second Trump administration, the war on immigrants is even worse than before, making this film — and the stories it tells of why people flee their home countries and seek safety in the United States — more relevant than ever.
