In his timely new film, director Errol Morris confronts one of the darkest chapters in recent American history: the policy of separating children from their parents at the US border, brought in by the Trump administration in 2017 to 2018.
Morris merges bombshell interviews with government officials and constructed vignettes of one migrant family’s journey, to trace the genesis and the impact of Family Separation, showing that the cruelty at the heart of the policy was its very purpose.
With hundreds of families still separated years later, the revelations of Morris’s investigation into the government’s role in this unthinkable horror should hang heavy over the start of Trump’s second term in office.
