Twelve Harvard Law students from six countries explore how laws and regulations can both disrupt lives and encourage constructive change. With intimate and powerful profiles of people -- either caught in or helped by the levers of the law -- five short films examine the jeopardy to people's homes and lives: neighborhood gentrification; innovative programs for veterans convicted of crimes; climate change and environmental dangers; pregnancy/parenting discrimination; and changes in the Temporary Protected Status for immigrants and their children born as U.S. citizens.
