Journalist Laura Gottesdiener and filmmaker/photographer Cinthya Santos Briones discuss their five-part series in The Nation,“Finding Sanctuary.” The series follows the family of Amanda Morales, an undocumented Guatemalan immigrant who is taking sanctuary in a Washington Heights church to avoid deportation. Morales took refuge with her three American-born children there in August and has been living there ever since. Hers was one of the first highly publicized church sanctuary efforts in recent York City. “Finding Sanctuary” incorporates film, or photography,and audio from both the journalists and the Morales daughters, who are documenting their life in sanctuary.
This segment is guest hosted by Rebecca Carroll.
