The Least of These (2009)

Family Detention in America

Detention of immigrant children in a former medium-security prison in Texas in 2007-8 leads to controversy when three activist attorneys discover troubling conditions at the facility. This compelling documentary film explores the role – and limits – of community activism, and considers how American rights and values apply to the least powerful among us. Since the film's release, activists Bob Libal, Barbara Hines, Vanita Gupta and Michelle Brane' have remained on the front lines of the continuing battles against injustice and child detention.
