Omfg, I'm literally sobbing. An important film in our political climate. Please show immigrant families empathy.

Sobbed on a plane @4:30 because of this movie: it's learning stuff like this that really makes me understand more and more that there's no such thing as justice in our court systems unless you're the one with the money and power to begin with. The fact that this is legal and people are being deported to countries that they don't even speak the language of, or haven’t set foot in since they were a little kid is insane. Fuck ICE! ACAB! We need to do better America
