Hines was contacted by detainees seekingrepresentation, and she becameincreasingly concerned about the troublingconditions there. She joined forces withVanita Gupta of the ACLU and MichelleBrane of the Women's RefugeeCommission to investigate conditions andseek changes. Their efforts were initiallyhampered by a lack of openness andoversight within the Immigration &Customs Enforcement (ICE) organization.Undeterred, the three attorneys attemptedto bring about changes in both policy andconditions, by making their findings public,encouraging involvement by activists andthe media, and ultimately by filing ahistoric lawsuit.As these events unfold, the film exploresthe government rationale for familydetention, conditions at the facility,collateral damage, and the role (and limits)of community activism in bringing change.The film leads viewers to consider howcore American rights and values –presumption of innocence, the protectionof children, upholding the family structureas the basic unit of civil society, andAmerica as a refuge of last resort – shouldapply to immigrants, particularly children.Award• World Premiere, South by SouthwestFilm Festival, 2009Item no. : VK05970695Format : DVDDuration : 62 minutesCopyright : 2009Price : USD 295.00CULINARYBEST CHEFS: ANNEDESJARDINSLaurentides - Sainte-Adele, CANADAChef Anne Desjardins and husband PierreAudette have taken Quebec's farmproducts to new heights.
