UK PREMIERE
Following its European and American premieres in Venice and Telluride respectively, we are proud to have the UK premiere of Errol Morris's new film.
An Academy Award®-winning filmmaker (The Fog of War and The Thin Blue Line), Morris's new documentary incisively probes Donald Trump's covert policy of separating migrant children from their families at the US-Mexican border. 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 hundreds of families remain separated today.
We selected this film ahead of the recent US election, so its screening on Saturday is now even more timely.
"Errol Morris’s quietly furious takedown of Trump’s inhumane border policy." - The Guardian ★★★★☆
"Fans of Morris’ elegant, intelligent style will no doubt be intrigued, not to mention enraged…Morris is a master...” Tim Grierson, Screen Daily
