Anchor Baby

In the heart of Los Angeles, “Anchor Baby” follows the intertwined lives of two women from vastly different backgrounds navigating the tumultuous waters of immigration and motherhood. Maria, a fiercely determined young woman from Mexico, embarks on a perilous journey to the United States in search of a better life for her unborn child. Motivated by her own mother’s sacrifices, she dreams of giving her daughter every chance she never had.

Her chance encounter with Maria ignites a fire in Emily, pushing her to reconsider her own values and the role of privilege in her life.
