State of Arizona

SDLRLA is proud to co-sponsor, in conjunction with The San Diego Lawyer Chapter, California Western School of Law, Thomas Jefferson School of Law and the University of San Diego School of Law Student Chapters of the American Constitution Society, as national partners of Community Cinema, the screening of “State of Arizona.” This vérité documentary captures the explosive emotions and complex realities behind Arizona’s headline-grabbing struggle with illegal immigration.  Tracking the year after Arizona passed SB1070, its controversial “show me your papers” law, the film tells the stories of Arizonans on all sides of this divisive issue and depicts a state and its people testing the edges of our democratic values.  View the trailer here.
