Separated

Academy Award–winning filmmaker Errol Morris confronts one of the darkest chapters in recent American history: family separations. Based on Jacob Soboroff's book Separated: Inside an American Tragedy, Morris blends revelatory interviews with government officials and evocative narrative vignettes tracing a migrant family's ordeal. Together they reveal that the cruelty at the heart of this policy was its very purpose. Against this backdrop, audiences confront the U.S. government's role in shaping and implementing policies that have kept more than 1,300 children without confirmed reunifications years later, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
