Finding Sanctuary (2018 Emmy Award-winning and Webby Nominated)

Jesús emigrated from Mexico. Rosa survived Auschwitz. Bertha left the Deep South. Teddy lived in an internment camp. Henry feeds the homeless. Nerdeen fights for her homeland.

Follow the journeys of six individuals who have found—or are continuing to seek out—sanctuary in New York City.
