Sanctuary follows Ping’an, an international student in Chicago whose life is shaped by the uncertainty of her immigration status. Her story reflects a reality lived by thousands—students, workers, migrants, and asylum seekers navigating both hope and fear in a rapidly shifting policy landscape. Through an intimate and human lens, the film explores what it means to search for stability, identity, and belonging in a place that is both home and unknown.
