Two mothers, an asylum seeker from Guatemala and an energy lawyer, become unlikely allies in the story of their bond while they fight a broken U.S. immigration system.

 

Through the universal themes of motherhood and friendship, CREDIBLE FEAR aims to demystify and destigmatize the asylum process in order to inspire positive legal changes for a more humane immigration system in the US, and more empathy for refugees facing life or death circumstances worldwide.
