It鈥檚 The Law
Inside one of the busiest immigration courts in the US.
There is nothing special about the building at 606 South Olive Street in Los Angeles. But if you're an immigrant fighting deportation, what happens inside is all-important.
Also: we hear about a child who was separated from his family and put in US immigration detention鈥� in 1930; we meet a feisty Peruvian potato farmer facing down an American mining company; we learn about a proposal to legalise divorce in the Philippines; and we rock out to an Arabic remix of the Beatles song 鈥淒rive My Car鈥�, to mark the end of the women's driving ban in Saudi Arabia.
