A Month in Minnesota
ICE is cold. Love is everything.
A MONTH IN MINNESOTA is a documentary film about ordinary Minnesotans who stepped forward in extraordinary ways to protect and support their neighbors during a month of intensified immigration enforcement.
SYNOPSIS
In January 2026, when the Trump Administration sent thousands of federal troops into the streets of Minnesota, citizens were faced with a choice: Give in to the occupation, or come together and resist.
A MONTH IN MINNESOTA tells the story of ordinary Minnesotans who responded to extraordinary events with courage, compassion, and action.
The film explores what it means to be - and become - an American during a defining moment in our nation’s history.
