"A stirring peek inside one of the most divisive issues facing the country" (Peter Martin, Cinematical). First-time filmmakers Clark and Jesse Lyda explore the scary idea of punishing children for the crimes of their parents. Specifically, The Least of These focuses on the T. Don Residential Center, a former medium-security prison in Texas that was converted to house immigrant families awaiting deportation hearings. When human-rights attorneys heard about allegedly disturbing conditions in the detention center, their subsequent investigation revealed that some basic American rights and values are being overlooked.
