Las Abogadas

Summary

Las Abogadas follows a handful of immigration attorneys over a multi-year odyssey beginning in 2018 as the U.S. government upends every law to protect those fleeing from violence and war. While the 2020 election brought a moment of relief and great joy for our attorneys as they watched some migrants finally be allowed into the United States, what was supposed to be a hopeful beginning turns out to create even greater challenges than they could have imagined.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion and award ceremony honoring a community partner who has been on the frontlines of this fight in Alaska.

Part of the proceeds will benefit the ACLU of Alaska.
