Separated plot
Errol Morris confronts one of the darkest chapters in recent American history: family separation. Based on the book by NBC Politico and National Correspondent Jacob Soboroff, Morris combines explosive interviews with whistleblowing officials and artful narrative vignettes about the plight of one immigrant family. Together, they reveal that the cruelty at the heart of this policy was its very purpose. Against this backdrop—with hundreds of families still separated years later—audiences can begin to understand the U.S. government’s role in this unthinkable atrocity and be warned that we are on the verge of letting it happen again.
