Divided by Law

Synopsis

Captured just before and during the Coronavirus outbreak and in the lead up to Brexit, DIVIDED BY LAW bears witness to binational families and couples trying to cope with the UK’s hostile immigration environment. From multiple locations across the world, we hear personal accounts of how the interviewees navigate their way through the UK family immigration regulations, encountering prolonged periods of separation from their partners and families with distressing consequences.
