The documentary “Separated,” airing on MSNBC, explores the Trump administration’s controversial policy of separating illegal immigrant children at the border from their parents. The film, inspired by Jacob Soboroff’s best-selling book, sheds light on the 5,500 children who were separated and the challenges of reuniting them with their families. Soboroff, who covered the story as it unfolded, describes the policy as intentionally cruel and a dark chapter in American history. The documentary also highlights the efforts of individuals and organizations who worked to stop the policy and bring attention to the plight of these families.
Former President Donald Trump, responsible for the “zero tolerance” immigration policy, is shown expressing shock and eventually reversing the practice in 2018. The film serves as a warning of potential future mass deportations and also offers hope, showcasing the possibility of standing up against such policies. “Separated” premieres on MSNBC on Dec. 7 and on VOD on Dec. 17, providing a powerful and timely exploration of a contentious issue.
