When a boat called The Golden Venture ran aground off New York in the early nineties, her human cargo was discovered: illegal Chinese immigrants seeking a new life in the United States. Hanna Dunlop, a corporate lawyer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, answered the call for pro-bono representation of the refugees. She had no background in refugee or asylum law. She takes us through the legal and emotional battlefield of her defense. With so much at stake, what compelled her to take on a high-profile case in a field of law that was completely new and unknown to her?
