For brothers Lalo and Fernando who moved from Mexico and now work in construction, the struggle is personal. This is the story of a battle of Bill 427 in the Nevada legislative session, as it sought protections for outdoor workers but was met with pushback.

To do so, John must overcome his fears and attempt a risky train hop with the goal of not getting caught.

George Lee is an 89-year-old blackjack dealer at the 4 Queens Casino in Las Vegas. None of the card players know of this humble man’s astonishing background: a dance prodigy and refugee from Shanghai who became a teenage sensation in George Balanchine’s 1954 premiere of The Nutcracker. George’s story is uniquely American: an immigrant striving to prove himself as an Asian pioneer in ballet and on Broadway, where he was cast by Gene Kelly for the original production of Flower Drum Song. The film reminds us of the extraordinary stories behind the nameless faces all around us.
