Nearly two years later, she is still there. She knits, cooks, and prays in anxious limbo, awaiting either a favorable court ruling or seizure by federal agents. Fifty miles from her home in Asheboro, she is near enough to her husband, four children, and two grandchildren for regular visits, but shes painfully removed from the daily rhythms of a house that feels empty without her. Filmmakers Christine Delp and Pilar Timpane sensitively capture the struggles of a woman caught in a political tug-of-war.          Browse Films > Inclusion In Action > Schedule Of Events >         Our Vision We are a platform to see through another’s eyes.
