I already knew the work at the ACLU was important but this really confirmed that for me. Not only seeing the behind the scenes of all these major court cases but getting to see who it affects and the lives that were changed was incredible!
An horrifically unfair and ridiculous telling of what they've pretended happened vs actual occurrences.
Remember, the ACLU has also decided to stop fighting for the civil liberties of American women, it was only a matter of time before they stopped fighting for actual born/raised American citizens.
This rubbish needs to finally face critical pushback and not just idolization from inside the echo chamber-this was not well done, well represented, or full of factual data to support frivolous claims - but because they've filled the virtue signaling bingo card- just look at these 8-10 star reviews pour in!!! I'm stunned it wasn't given an Oscar.

It was incredible. The work of the lawyers and their colleagues truly inspired me.

This is an excellent documentary. It juggles masterfully four recent ACLU cases, never losing the narrative thread of any of them. It is an important documentary exploring in a serious way issues great significance. And it manages to do that with moments of humor and poignant emotion.
For as long as there's been injustice there's been incredible people fighting to right those wrongs and this is an excellent example of the brilliant folk at ACLU doing just that to get justice for all. Absolute heroes!
