"The Trump administration’s practice of separating children from their parents at America’s southern border began as early as July 2017, shortly after the inauguration — long before the general public learned of it and became outraged, and long before Trump officials even acknowledged it was happening, according to `Separated,' a new documentary from Errol Morris  that premiered at the Venice and Telluride film festivals [last summer]."

Democracy Now! interviewed the Oscar-winning maker of Separated, Errol Morris, about the documentary, which is based on NBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff’s book of the same name.  "The film details the horrors of the Trump `zero tolerance' immigration policy, under which thousands of immigrant children were forcibly separated from their parents after they crossed the southern U.S. border, part of the administration’s broader crackdown on immigration."
