Synopsis

With Donald Trump in the White House, attorneys at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) are working overtime to fight the US government’s increasing attacks on civil rights. Through four lawsuits that have all reached the international press, the lawyers must counter President Trump’s administration and its efforts to separate migrant parents and children on the Mexican border, block access to abortion, expel transgender soldiers from the military, and roll back voting rights. The Fight is the story of a group of lawyers determined to balance the scales of justice against powerful leaders disrupting its very foundation.
