Sanctuary (10 min): This film highlights reflections from a Unitarian Universalist congregation in the US providing physical sanctuary for a woman and her child escaping deportation. Vicky Chavez fled domestic abuse and violence in her native Honduras to seek asylum in the US. Nearly 4 years later, with her appeals exhausted and facing deportation, she asked a community of faith in Salt Lake City for sanctuary. Sheltered inside the church, she finds herself part of an ancient conflict. Kelsie Moore, director; produced by KUER, NPR-Utah in Salt Lake City

Health Undocumented (Salud Sin Papeles) (85 min): Sparked by backlash to a neo-Nazi rally and a stream of strict anti-immigrant laws passed in Arizona, a group of activists organize to build Phoenix Allies for Community Health, a unique free clinic serving undocumented immigrants. This film captures the inspirational birth of a local grassroots movement. Juan Freitez is a Venezuelan filmmaker and video journalist debuting his first feature-length documentary The Move (7 min) video animation on climate migration. The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung
