BREAKFAST WITH GANDHI
by Traci Godfrey
Brooke and Val are overwhelmed dealing with their relationship issues, raising two boys as an interracial lesbian couple, and contemplating ominous world events. When they discover that the birth mother of their adopted Guatemalan sons is being held at a detention camp in El Paso, the women are forced to confront their own entitlement, privilege, and moral certainty. However, Val is determined to convince her reluctant wife to do the right thing and after much soul searching and introspection, they go about devising a plan to rescue the detained woman with the help of an unlikely friend and his polar opposite twin brother.
