Immigrants just released from detention centers spend their first night in Oakland at a motel, paid through the charity of a local pastor. For one night of respite, they rest, reflect, and prepare for the next phase of their journey. Synopsis: Through a vast communication network, Pastor Gomez is notified when someone from his community is being released from detention and has nowhere to stay. Through his work at a local motel, Pastor Gomez rents a room for the migrants to have at least one night of rest before continuing in their transition. On that night, migrants willing to be filmed share their stories. Screenings and Recognitions: Student Academy Award Semifinalist IDA David L.
