Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Prince William County, Virginia becomes a focal point in the heated debate over illegal immigration after local officials adopt an ordinance requiring authorities to interrogate anyone they suspect may not be a lawful American citizen. When national anti-immigration networks began using intimidation tactics to frighten citizens and lawmakers of Prince William County, the citizens responded by launching the 9500liberty YouTube channel and staging virtual town hall meetings. Before long, the struggle to reverse the controversial policy spills out from the government chambers into the streets, affecting local families and business alike. As a nation looks to Prince William County to gain a better understanding of the future of immigration policy, passions begin to flare up on both sides of the issue.
