When ICE Melts

media release: The Madison FREE THE 15 DEFENSE COMMITTEE invites you to join us for a special documentary screening and panel discussion:

"When ICE Melts - Testimonies from the frontlines" is a documentary film that examines how ordinary people organized across neighborhoods, workplaces, unions and communities to resist repression and build collective power against Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis, MN.
