Texas Premiere! Director Eric Byler in person!

This timely, explosive documentary is set in Prince William County, Virginia, where police are required by law to question anyone who they suspect is an undocumented immigrant. 9500 Liberty tells the story of what happens when residents decide that they have had enough. Fed up with being intimated by a national Internet-based anti-immigration network determined to have local lawmakers and citizens bend to their will, residents fight back through the creation of the groundbreaking YouTube channel, 9500 Liberty.

A micro view of a national issue, filmmakers Annabel Park and Eric Byler provide viewers with a front seat to the immigration battles being waged in townhalls, on the Internet and on the street.
