Experiencing Interruptions?

Donde Dios Quiera (Wherever God Wants)

A Honduran woman and her four children make the difficult journey north to seek asylum in the U.S. Upon arrival, they are unwittingly caught in the crosshairs of a new immigration policy and a binational debate. As the Trump administration cracks down on the influx of Central American migrants, families find themselves stuck in the liminal space between what was and what has yet to come when they are returned to Mexico to await their asylum claims.
