This is a documentary film, by Clark Lyda and Jesse Lyda.  Following
the film will be a discussion of current immigration policies.


Detention of immigrant children in a former medium-security prison in Texas
leads to controversy when three activist attorneys discover troubling
conditions at the facility. This compelling documentary film explores the
role - and limits - of community activism, and considers how American
rights and values apply to the least powerful among us.
