On this edition of Your Call, we're speaking with the directors of
The Fight, a new documentary that follows a team of ACLU attorneys as they sue the Trump administration over reproductive freedom, trans rights, child separation, and voting rights.
The ACLU has brought 173 lawsuits against the administration as it celebrates its 100-year anniversary. This is the first time they've given filmmakers access to their offices. The directors call them everyday heroes.
Guests:
Elyse Steinberg, director of The Fight
Eli Despres, director of The Fight
