Well-Founded Fear

A film by Shari Robertson & Michael Camerini

The life or death fate of immigrants seeking asylum

Well-Founded Fear is a stirring, evocative, and utterly unforgettable documentary about the American political asylum system: Who is deemed worthy and who decides. Marking the first and probably only time a film crew has ever been privy to these proceedings, the camera steals us behind the bulletproof windows of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), where bureaucrats ponder the sometimes life-or-death fate of immigrants seeking asylum.
