Synopsis

High-level overview for audiences, press, and decision-makers.

Logline

Broken Borders: A Divided Journey follows a family story shaped by immigration enforcement, revealing how sharply different outcomes can unfold — even for people who start from the same place.

Director’s Intent

This film prioritizes human stakes and verifiable context over hot takes — showing what happens on the ground, how systems behave in practice, and what “due process” looks like when time, language, and access are limited.

What You’ll See

  • Real-world consequences of enforcement decisions.
  • Personal perspective with broader policy relevance.
  • Clear narrative arc designed for general audiences.

Why It Matters

  • Explains complex systems without dumbing them down.
  • Creates space for oversight, accountability, and reform discussions.
  • Built for screenings: civic groups, universities, policymakers, press.

Story & Themes

Use this section as your website “spine” — clean, powerful, non-hyperbolic.

Core Themes

  • Family separation and the long tail of bureaucratic decisions.
  • Due process: access, timing, representation, and practical barriers.
  • Contradictions between stated priorities and real outcomes.

Audience Promise

You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how quickly lives can be rerouted — and why “process” is not paperwork; it’s the guardrail between order and chaos.

Screening Formats

  • Festival & theatrical (Q&A-ready)
  • Community + faith + advocacy (impact talkback)
  • University / policy (discussion + panel)
