Separated, from Academy Award-winning filmmaker Errol Morris, tells a powerful story of the Trump administration’s controversial 2018 policy of separating immigrant children from their parents at the Mexico-US border. The film illustrates the lack of human rights, morality, and constitutional law held by top officials like Stephen Miller, Jeff Sessions, Kirstjen Nielsen. Separated also highlights honorable characters, such as Captain Jonathan White from the Office for Refugee Resettlement. Through his determination to intervene and protect the lives of those in his care, White and other characters deliver a riveting exposé of the Trump administration’s program and the brave political actors from both sides of the divide.
