Split at the Root

When a Guatemalan mother seeking asylum in the United States is separated from her children because of the Zero Tolerance Policy for Unauthorized Immigration, a Facebook post by a mother in Queens ignites thousands of like-minded women to take action. This emotional documentary film follows the efforts of Immigrant Families Together, a rapid response group committed to reuniting parents with their children impacted by this policy action.

Stay after the film for a panel discussion with representatives from Ragtag Film Society and CoMo Comunidad.
