The Least of These<\/em> <\/strong>offers a look at one of the most controversial aspects of American immigration policy:\u00a0 family detention.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The detention of immigrant children inside the T. Don Hutto Residential Center,<\/strong> a former medium-security prison in Texas now operated by a private corporation leads to controversy when three activist attorneys discover troubling conditions at the facility, as families await asylum hearings or deportation proceedings. \u00a0<\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

The film series is being held in conjunction with the Human Rights in the USA Conference<\/a>, October 22-24, 2009.\u00a0 The full film series schedule<\/a> and downloadable poster is available on the Dodd Research Center\u2019s website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
