When the US government stormed a Kosher meat plant in the American heartland arresting nearly 400 undocumented workers, a Guatemalan village wept. The biggest immigration raid in US history severed an economic lifeline to one of the poorest corners of the Western Hemisphere while pushing an Iowa

A powerful and topical documentary about the human cost of deportation and detention of immigrants.
