The Fight follows five scrappy lawyers at the ACLU as they fight important legal battles against the Trump administration’s historic assault on civil liberties. Directors Elyse Steinberg, Josh Kriegman, and Eli Despres capture the rollercoaster ride of the thrill and defeat in these deeply human battles, focusing their lens on four pivotal cases. When a migrant mother is separated from her child, a transgender soldier is at risk to lose his career, a young woman’s right to choose is imperiled at the pleasure of a government official, and the ability to exercise our basic right to vote is threatened, the consequences can be devastating to us and to future generations. The Fight is an inspiring and emotional celebration of the unsung heroes at the ACLU who fiercely work to protect our freedoms.
