On March 6, 2007, US Immigration officials raided a New Bedford, MA factory that makes vests and backpacks for US soldiers. Many of the 361 undocumented immigrants who were detained in the raid were women with small children.
Este documental incluye relatos de trabajadores inmigrantes de lo que pasó en la redada del 6 de marzo de 2007 en la fábrica Bianco en New Bedford, Massachussets por funcionarios del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de Estados Unidos (ICE). Muchos de los obreros inmigrantes en esta fábrica —que fabrica chalecos y mochilas para soldados estadounidenses— fueron mujeres con hijos pequeños y la película muestra las ramificaciones de la detención entre las familias y en la comunidad.
