Description: La paloma y la ley' follows two women, Marta and Liset, who left Cuba in May 2016 with no plan, just the name of a coyote, a human smuggler, scribbled on a piece of paper, and a dream to make it to the US. They hoped to arrive before the imminent end of "wet foot, dry foot," a policy that fast-tracked Cubans to asylum and permanent residency.
