"9500 Liberty" probes America's battle over immigration policy by focusing on the adoption of a law that requires police in Prince William County, Va., to question anyone they have "probably cause" to suspect is an undocumented immigrant.

The social and economic impacts of the immigration resolution is felt in the lives of real people in homes and local businesses. The film follows a fight to adopt then reverse the policy from inside government chambers, on the streets and on the Internet.
