| Chasing Freedom is a compelling Court
TV drama that follows Libby Brock (Juliette Lewis), an ambitious
securities lawyer who reluctantly takes on a pro bono
case through the Lawyers Committee on Human Rights. Her client
is Meena (Layla Alizada), a young Afghan woman who, fearing
for her life, fled the oppressive Taliban regime to request
asylum in the US. Although she has committed no crime, Meena
is detained by immigration authorities and suffers for months
in a prison-like detention center while she and Libby navigate
the circuitous route of the political asylum process. |
