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.

I'm glad there was a documentary crew capturing these moments as they happened. I can only think that this should be a series (perhaps a sequel of "The Fight Continues"??!) because the onslaught of unjustness continues. It's inspiring to see people stand up to these legal systems and the executive branch; lending a voice to the powerless. Thank you ACLU for all you do and especially for everyone you do it for-we the people.
Thank you ACLU. I cannot imagine the rights they want to trample on.
If you are not for the civil rights for the people you don't agree with, you are not for human rights at all. The ACLU director said it most correctly when he said that if we didn't let the racist supremacists have a voice than Trumpets would not let Antifa have a say, or they might even say *you* can't express your opinion.
That ICE men and women, even those without children can sleep at night with children apart from their loving parents is surreal. This lack of caring that no parent would choose for their own but don't think twice about taking *your* child away is testament to how low our education system has sunk. Does anyone think that idea is a stretch? You have to really train and indoctrinate people for years to remove their caring for others. You have to strip away Sundays from the moral teachings of church and give the day to the NFL. War will not end until men stop going to war. No Justice, no Peace. Rev. Lawson said at the John Lewis funeral says these ACLU legal eagles need our help keeping the horrid policies front and center. Nice movie, get more help, become a taxing entity, 1% for dissent .

It was incredible. The work of the lawyers and their colleagues truly inspired me.
This review has been deleted nine times now. Several others critical of the ACLU's Fight movie have also been deleted. Only the reviews posted by their own employees are still active. Apparently criticism of bad ACLU propaganda movies are not allowed by Google, which owns IMDb.
The Fight is a totally left-wing movie that does not even try to give any honest viewpoint to why the United States and all other nations have borders and immigration policies.
Instead, the Fight advocates for open borders, and no control over who comes into the USA. This is a very dangerous and irresponsible point of view.
