Errol Morris and Jacob Soboroff discuss their new film, “Separated,” which chronicles the Trump administration’s “Zero Tolerance” immigration policy, which separated more than 4,500 children from their parents between 2017 and 2019. 1,300 children are yet to be reunited due to incomplete information on their families, because “the idea was to avoid records,” says Morris.
Purposefully separating kids from their parents and responding with “whomp whomp” on television as you do it is a lot different from a giant bureaucracy dealing with a mass of humanity and getting some things wrong.
