SAINT JUDY tells the true story of heroic yet humble immigration attorney, Judy Wood. In a landmark human rights case, Wood represents a woman who was persecuted for opening a school for girls in her home country. Judy fights day and night, in and out of court, to grant this woman asylum thereby saving the lives of thousands of other refugees who would've been sent home to certain death, all while juggling her role as a single mother. Like ERIN BROCKOVICH, SAINT JUDY tells the story of a woman who will stop at nothing to advocate for change and upend unjust laws to protect those that can't protect themselves.
