- Synopsis
- In the US one becomes a citizen by one's birth on US-american soil - this also applies for the children of undocumented immigrants. However, their parents can be deported anytime. Nora, a conservative businesswoman in Miami has a power of attorney for thousands of these children. She uses her image of an altruistic hero in the media and her contacts with the republican party to fight for the children at all levels.
  Gissel from Peru might soon have to give Nora power of attorney for her daughter, in order to ensure her a future in the US in case of deportation.
  Carmen's sons are so-called Dreamers, whose future is hanging by a thread and who could be deported to a country they only know from their parents' stories.
  NORA'S ARK follows three emancipated women during their fight for a better future and immerses into a parallel society that breaks with common stereotypes.
