SEEKING ASYLUM is a feature documentary that bears witness to the endless deterrents migrants face when petitioning for asylum in the United States. In a dismantled system that has been designed for failure, we follow one woman's journey as she searches for protection for her and kids. Many people view getting to the United States as the final hurdle of the migration journey, but we quickly learn that once in the U.S. the fight has just begun. During one of the most uncertain times in our country's history, Seeking Asylum documents the challenges asylum seekers face and shows why asylum is an integral part of the American Dream that we cannot afford to lose.

Karen P This film normalizes the asylum conversation, especially in these polarized times as politicians decide on the transit bill ban. This is not just about a woman and her kids seeking legal asylum - It is an American story, portraying both the hopeful and the discouraging. But told in such a way that both touched my heart and blew my mind with the magnitude of the asylum backlog and application obstacles in the US. Yet in a most compassionate and delicate way, that drew me to tears at times, this film also pulled out from the individuals story to show refuge seekers as a world wide issue, not just of our boarders. I think this is an important well balanced film well worth seeing and sharing. It will provoke discussion. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
