Summary
Reviewers say 'The Fight' is a documentary showcasing the ACLU's commitment to civil liberties via high-profile cases. It is lauded for its narrative, emotional depth, and insight into attorneys' work. Yet, some criticize its perceived bias, especially regarding controversial clients and political issues. Debates arise over its balance between free speech and marginalized group protection, with concerns about its potential recruitment and fundraising roles.
Featured reviews
This review has been deleted nine times now. Several others critical of the ACLU's Fight movie have also been deleted. Only the reviews posted by their own employees are still active. Apparently criticism of bad ACLU propaganda movies are not allowed by Google, which owns IMDb.
The Fight is a totally left-wing movie that does not even try to give any honest viewpoint to why the United States and all other nations have borders and immigration policies.
Instead, the Fight advocates for open borders, and no control over who comes into the USA. This is a very dangerous and irresponsible point of view.

It was incredible. The work of the lawyers and their colleagues truly inspired me.

I'm glad there was a documentary crew capturing these moments as they happened. I can only think that this should be a series (perhaps a sequel of "The Fight Continues"??!) because the onslaught of unjustness continues. It's inspiring to see people stand up to these legal systems and the executive branch; lending a voice to the powerless. Thank you ACLU for all you do and especially for everyone you do it for-we the people.
For as long as there's been injustice there's been incredible people fighting to right those wrongs and this is an excellent example of the brilliant folk at ACLU doing just that to get justice for all. Absolute heroes!

This is an excellent documentary. It juggles masterfully four recent ACLU cases, never losing the narrative thread of any of them. It is an important documentary exploring in a serious way issues great significance. And it manages to do that with moments of humor and poignant emotion.
