- Summary:
- Only days after the 2017 Trump inauguration, furious Americans gathered at airports across the country in protest of the Muslim ban. But it was the efforts of the American Civil Liberties Union, waging the fight in federal court, that turned the tide. Access to the ACLU offices has finally been granted to the award-winning filmmaking team, as they follow four seismically important cases and a handful of magnetic attorneys who managed to persuade Supreme Court Justices, beating back serious encroachments upon our freedoms. An antidote to endless news cycles filled with tweet tantrums, THE FIGHT inspires with the story of front-line warriors in the battle for the American soul.
