Academy Award-winning filmmaker Errol Morris incisively probes the darkest chapter in recent American history: family separations.

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. Together, they reveal that the cruelty at the heart of this policy was its very purpose.

Merging narrative vignettes of one migrant family’s plight with hard-hitting interviews with government officials, Morris paints a jaw-dropping picture of the state-sponsored crisis of cruelty, as over 1300 children remain separated today, according to the DHS.
