VIDEO: Netflix Shares the Trailer for IMMIGRATION NATION

Netflix has shared the trailer for Immigration Nation, a six-part documentary series that sounds the alarm on the immigration crisis in America by imbedding with ICE agents, attorneys, lawmakers and undocumented immigrants, whose harrowing stories humanize a perilously politicized issue.

Watch the trailer below!

In the groundbreaking six-part documentary series Immigration Nation, acclaimed filmmaking team Shaul Schwarz and Christina Clusiau (2017's Trophy) offer an unprecedented look at the processes, pitfalls and pain of immigration in America. Shot over the course of three years, Schwarz and Clusiau capture the daily workings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, activists, lawmakers, attorneys and a wide swath of undocumented immigrants, from desperate recent arrivals to longtime residents to deported U.S. military combat veterans.

With an unrelenting flow of migrant workers continuing across the U.S. border, the pressure on ICE to enforce the administration's zero-tolerance policies puts immigrants in the crosshairs. But how do we fix a system that seems beyond repair? How do we apply common sense to something that's evolved from one of humanitarian concern to an us-versus-them political flashpoint? Has the story of America - THE ONE that inspired our own immigrant relatives to risk death for a better life - been rewritten so broadly that the "land of the free" is a luxury afforded now only to a few?

As ineffective deterrence and militarized tactics continue, Immigration Nation provides an urgent, unbiased portrait of a country in crisis; one that demands unflinching attention and action.

Immigration Nation will be released on August 3rd, 2020.
