Description

This short film is part of World Showcase Shorts Program: One of a Kind.

At 6:00 p.m. every evening, Sarah Jackson and a group of dedicated volunteers collect asylum seekers from an ICE detention centre in Aurora, Colorado. For these anxious newcomers, the invitation of a warm bed, food and clothing is a welcome sojourn on the way to their next destination. Eileen Arandiga
