Inspirational is an understatement when describing Saint Judy. The true story behind the film of real-time immigration lawyer, Judith Wood, is enough to impress the most skeptical critics. Fighting for every last one of her 276 clients as if her life depended on it is not only admirable and respectable, but also an immensely difficult and thoroughly excruciating process, for Ms. Wood, but also for the audience to watch. Watching the movie I had two feelings: awe for this real-life hero, and frustration at the U.S immigration system and laws. This movie had me rooting for Judy with everything I had, while simultaneously making me want to clear all of her obstacles for her so that she can pave the way for justice. As mentioned earlier, inspirational is a word that does not do this movie justice. This movie moves people and stirred up something deep inside me, an instinctual feeling of hatred for injustices and a yearning for justice. Saint Judy will do the same for anyone who watches it. They too will be stirred.
