Film Description
Four edlerly nuns feel so strongly about closing the School of the Americas -- where the U.S. has trained Latin American soldiers in combat and counter-insurgency since 1946 -- that they put their own freedom at risk. As a result of their peaceful protest at the U.S. military base that houses the school, they are sentenced to six months in a federal prison.
"Those Who Trespass" follows their journey from protest to prison to release and examines what it means to truly stand up for your convictions.
