'A defining story of our time': the film-maker giving a face to family separation

Adrian Horton - The Guardian

This article from the Guardian tells the stories of two families featured in a documentary film about the family separation policy enacted by the US at the border with Mexico. The film is called 'Torn Apart: Separated at the Border' and it follows the families of María and Vilma, "two women who fled all but certain death in Central America for safety in the US in summer 2018 and who remain, at the film’s start, counting the days since they last saw their children."
