Tearing My Family Apart - Separation Documentary

This Real Stories documentary examines what happens when international borders tear families apart, following four families desperate simply to live together. Through their struggles it turns immigration, one of the defining issues of our time, into something human and specific rather than abstract. The film sits with the waiting, the paperwork, and the emotional cost of separation without reducing anyone to a statistic. It is an affecting look at love tested by law and distance.
