Jericho Walk

A film by Farihah Lara Zaman, Jeff David Reichert, Jim McKay

Following a tradition of protest and silent prayer that goes back some 3,000 years, the religious and secular volunteers of the New Sanctuary Coalition make seven revolutions around the New York Immigration Court at 26 Federal Plaza, expressing their solidarity with migrants whose fates hang in the balance. Subjected to myriad indignities and the trauma of knowing they can be separated from their families or deported at any time, these are the victims of an increasingly cruel and unjust immigration system in the United States. Award-winning filmmakers Jim McKay, Jeff Reichert, and Farihah Zaman, working with the brilliant sound designer Ernst Karel, document a political action that took place in December 2019.
