Seeking Sanctuary
The sanctuary church movement is on the rise again in California
We step inside a California church that鈥檚 asking unauthorised immigrants to seek shelter from the law amid its pews. Then, we head to Kansas and meet a high school student from Guatemala who says he鈥檚 drowning in the debt he owes to smugglers who got him into the US.
Plus, how a helmet equipped with an ultrasound camera is demystifying the sounds of the Irish language. And, a young Syrian refugee tells us about her remarkable short film, 鈥楾he Girl Whose Shadow Reflects the Moon鈥�, which combines magical imagery and gritty reality.
