Shouldering Sanctuary is a feature-length documentary about Chicago’s 2025 battle with ICE.

For decades, Chicago has been a sanctuary city, limiting cooperation between local cops and federal immigration enforcement. In 2025, this policy was tested like never before.

Watch local officials navigating federal pressure, activists mobilizing communities, judges defending principles, artists channeling resistance into creativity, and residents grappling with a hostile climate. A bricolage of intimate interviews, protests, meetings and bodycam and social media footage, Shouldering Sanctuary presents the complex reality of Chicago as a sanctuary city, more determined than ever despite being under siege.
