Our Summer Feminist Film Series continues! ☀️🎬 Join us for the second screening of our annual series and a conversation on the film's relevance to UWF's work and our present moment.

This time, we're screening Split at the Root (2022) directed by Linda Goldstein Knowlton, a powerful documentary that follows the journey of mothers separated from their children at the U.S. border and a grassroots initiative that aims to reunite those families.

Description:

Split at the Root follows the emotional journey of mothers separated from their children at the U.S. border and the grassroots initiative that, against all odds, reunites those families. When a Guatemalan mother seeking asylum was separated from her kids under the Zero Tolerance Policy, a Facebook post by a mom in Queens coalesced into a movement as thousands of like-minded women across the US refused to stand by quietly. Immigrant Families Together was born - a rapid response group committed to doing what the government couldn't - or wouldn't do: reunite parents with their children separated by the Zero Tolerance Policy.
