This documentary film takes us to an in-depth look at the asylum process of the federal U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Foreigners that are already in the United States, having fled their home countries, have the opportunity to apply for asylum through the INS. If a person's case establishes a "well-founded fear" of his/her home country, the adjudicating immigration officer approves his/her asylum application. If a person's case does not quite meet up to the officer's expectation of a "well-founded fear," it is referred to an immigration judge for a decision.

| User ReviewHarsh CA very moving portrait of what it means to go for asylum in the United States, and a revealing look at the beaurocrats who interview, review and approve or dis-approve the petitions of asylum-seekers. Eye-opening for anyone interested in the naturalization process, or anyone who works in humanitarian causes. |
| User ReviewPrivate UThis documentary is about the INS and the process of applying for political asylum. It's very interesting. They do a great job of showing how arbitrary the INS decisions are, but it doesn't make the INS out to be evil either. I highly recommend it. |
| User ReviewWalid NMaybe I expected something else, but I felt a little let down by this. It kept switching between the perspectives of asylum seekers and the asylum officers in one specific INS office. I wish it was more balanced and there were rhetorics to provide more insight into the documentary. I did appreciate the sometimes very personal segments, but once again, it could have been put together better. |
