(Last night, Mohan and I were watching Movie called Chasing Freedom. It was good movie)
"Chasing Freedom, tells the story of a
young Afghan woman (played by Layla Alizada) who is persecuted by the Taliban
for running a school for young girls and the pro bono attorney (played by Juliette Lewis) who reluctantly takes on her asylum case
after the woman is detained when she
arrives at a U.S. airport in search of refuge.
The film was inspired by a real asylum case handled by a team of dedicated pro bono attorneys for the Human Rights First at Debevoise and Plimpton. It is a sobering depiction of the nearly insurmountable obstacles that asylum seekers face when they arrive in the U.S.
For information on the Chasing Freedom Campaign, a national effort aimed at raising public awareness about asylum and detention, please contact projects@activevoice.net or visit the Active Voice website at http://www.activevoice.net/Chasing_Freedom.shtml.
