Synopsis
Academy Award-winning documentarian Errol Morris confronts one of the darkest chapters in recent American history: family separations under the first Trump administration. Based on NBC Political and National Correspondent Jacob Soboroff’s book, Morris merges explosive interviews with whistleblowing officials and artful narrative vignettes tracing one migrant family’s plight. With hundreds of families still separated years later, SEPARATED offers a powerful call for justice and accountability.
