this be a movie about a afghan woman seek asylum in the u before 9/11 . the story be about an allegedly brutal legal system that she must navigate to get asylum . in fact and what it show be a that it be an efficient legal system which prevent abuse of our immigration system which immigrant often abuse to avoid national quota . the movie have only one purpose and that be to gain sympathy for illegal immigrant . it be an extremely liberal propaganda movie . what the writer have do be take a true story which be atypical of the asylum process in which the afghan woman be deserve of asylum but she be unable to satisfy the safeguard that have erect to prevent illegals from enter the country . she have no identification . she can not prove who she be and can not find anyone to vouch for her . for all the immigration official know she could be a terrorist attempting to sneak into this country . in each decision the in make the right decision base on the fact before it . the afghan woman and play superbly by layla alizada and get representation by a pro bono lawyer from a big law firm who muck through the case . unfortunately and the lawyer be play by juliette harris and who a usual do a miserable job of act . she be a zany and serious acting be far beyond her capability . this be a movie for dummy and sob sister . it only redeem value be the acting of layla alizada .
