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.We have partnered with incredible organization on advocacy and our impact strategy including; KIND, AILA, Welcome with Dignity, UNHCR, This is About Humanity, Jewish Family Service, Center for Gender and Refugee Studies, Young Center for Immigrants Rights, Dr. Bronner’s Family Foundation, Interfaith Immigration Coalition, Grove Foundation, and Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
