In Sam and David Cutler-Kreutz’s Oscar-nominated short film A Lien, a husband and wife arrive at a green card interview with their child, only to find that the process isn’t as simple as it seems and that a moment meant to turn their fortunes around may actually result in a truly devastating and irreversible separation.
Awards Buzz spoke with Sam Cutler-Kreutz about developing the film and the real-life immigration enforcement practices that inspired it. Watch the video above to hear about how the recent presidential election in the United States has made this story feel all the more urgent and necessary to be seen.
