Overview

Mother and activist Jeanette Vizguerra took to living in a church basement in order to avoid deportation. Vizguerra and her family fled their home country over 20 years ago, and she has since advocated for those enduring the same situation. With the recent escalated ICE activity, she must choose between disappearing into silence or standing defiantly in the spotlight — risking everything to stay with her family.
