Set before the brutal regime was brought to their knees, this movie follows young lawyer Libby (Juliette Lewis) as she attempts to help an Afghani woman seeking sanctuary in the U.S. The woman arrives in the country seeking political asylum, but without a passport or any official papers it seems she will have to return to her native country; to make matters worse, a return will mean that she will meet her death at the hands of her oppressors. Shot for the Court TV network, CHASING FREEDOM is an interesting look at the struggles the citizens of Afghanistan faced in the years before the events of 9/11 sparked a defiant change in the system.
