‘Separated’ Review: Director Errol Morris Denounces Trump Administration Family Separation Policy In Powerful Documentary – Venice Film Festival


'Separated' review: Errol Morris's documentary, premiering at the Venice Film Festival, denounces the Trump administration's family separation policy.

Because the demonization of migrants plays so well to the MAGA base, we cannot rule out that Trump, if he wins election in November, will not reimpose his administration’s ignominious “family separation” policy that tore children from their parents, and produced images of kids – sudden wards of the U.S. government — cloaked in foil blankets, sleeping on cement floors in pens. L-R Robert Fernandez, Guest, Jacob Soboroff, Errol Morris, Molly O’Brien and Steven Hathaway attend a photocall for the movie ‘ Separated at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on August 29, 2024. The telegenic Soboroff (whole essays could be written about the glories of his Harry Styles-worthy hair) knows the subject matter intimately, but for a journalist working for a mainstream media outlet, he speaks with refreshing candor.
