Displaced

When writer/producer/actor Tiffany Hodges volunteered with New Sanctuary Coalition and accompanied undocumented immigrants to court, she witnessed the painfully adverse process they endure to become "legal" and was driven to share this story beyond the courtroom. The short film DISPLACED draws from real cases, with Tiffany weaving these events into a compelling short narrative that allows audiences to see America’s broken immigration system first hand and how a caring citizen can help. DISPLACED provokes thought, inspires action, and sparks meaningful dialogue about the realities for all who strive to call America their home.

“The film captured the emotions of fear and uncertainty that most, if not all feel when seeking protection here in the United States and have to do that in an adversarial court process. This film was able to capture this in only 13 minutes, yet many immigrants are facing the court process for many years if not over a decade. ”- Alexandra S. McCown - Pro Bono Immigration Attorney with Manatt
