Las Abo gadas (The Lawyers)

\n

Follows four immigration attorn eys over a multi-year odyssey as the U.S. government under President Trump upends every law meant to protect those fleeing from persecution\, violen ce and war.

\n

​From setting up a legal clinic in a Volkswagen bus in the middle of five thousand desperate migrants\, to persuading bor der guards to follow the law and accept a blind woman into U.S. custody\, to crossing the border to counsel African migrants stuck in Tijuana\, to g iving legal advice in the brutally hot Mexican sun to families desperate t o see American soil &mdash\; we watch our characters&rsquo\; surreal journ eys to try and help.
