DESCRIPTION
This is a clip from the feature documentary FIVE YEARS NORTH.
Immigration policy is complex, and reasonable people can disagree about reform and enforcement. But one fact remains unshakable: there is no humane way to deport a family’s loved one. The pain is not abstract. It's lived daily by parents, children, and neighbors—many of whom are deeply woven into the fabric of their communities.
