Oh Mercy; Searching for Hope in the Promised Land

SYNOPSIS

Oh Mercy; Searching for Hope in the Promised Land is a documentary film about thousands of refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers from Central America awaiting court dates and immigration hearings in the US—many for well over a year now, with no end in sight. Increasingly desperate and discouraged, they are huddled in squalid camps and detention centers on both sides of the Rio Grande, which for several hundred miles serves as a natural border between Mexico and the United States.
