Well Founded Fear and the Epidavros Project.  Over 10 years ago, Shari Robertson and Michael Camerini filmed the inner workings of US asylum office adjudications.  They not only produced an award-winning documentary film, "Well Founded Fear," but also a syllabus of training materials (on which Steven Heller served as a consultant) for students, advocates, or anyone interested in how society seeks to identify and grant refuge to asylum seekers.  Visit the Epidavros Project at http://www.wellfoundedfear.org/ss.
