The documentary filmmakers behind Weiner take an inside look at four lawsuits that pit the American Civil Liberties Union against the Trump administration.
As described by Magnolia Pictures: "When a mother is separated from her child, a soldier is threatened to lose his career, a young woman's right to choose is imperilled at the pleasure of a government official, and the ability to exercise our basic right to vote is threatened, the consequences can be devastating to us and to future generations. The Fight celebrates the unsung heroes who fiercely work to protect our freedoms."
