"Fighting for Family" captures the love story between a young family who faces countless challenges, yet continues to be hopeful, resilient, and joyful. "Fighting for Family" discusses the U.S. imperialist war machine and the intergenerational harm that it inflicts, from the refugee flight to the school to prison to deportation pipeline, but also highlights the power of resilience and community resistance.
