Obviously, there are politics involved. But the number of politics that are involved in immigration and asylum is unfortunate, because it's a pendulum that swings left, it’s a pendulum that swings right and the people that are getting hurt are the people that are trying to come to the U.S. and find safety.” – Rae Ceretto You can watch Seeking Asylum on Amazon, Apple, Google Play or other streaming sites.
