Four hundred years after The Mayflower, a commemoration year totally eclipsed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Nilda's story is a contemporary tale of immigration to the USA. WhileTheyWait.org is an organization founded by Brooklyn Defender Services, Raices Texas, ACLU SoCal, musicians Benny Blanco, Calvin Harris & Miguel, and filmmaker Jake Schreier. An organization dedicated to providing legal services, free of charge, and survival assistance "while they wait", to America's most disenfranchised, the approximately one million asylum-seekers. Asylum seekers with stories, like Nilda and her 2-year old son Keyden.
