Immigration Nation: Season 1

"Provides a damning indictment of the labyrinth systems that make ICE so powerful, and a wrenching examination of the human cost its policies have wrought."

"As in-depth and widely-encompassing as it is, Immigration Nation feels barely like the tip of a horrible iceberg."

"A useful parable to enable the layman's understanding of, as human rights attorney Becca Heller eloquently explains, "the brilliance of any bureaucratic system whose net result is fear and trauma.""

"All six hours of their docuseries overflow with information, from the personal stories of detainees—people like Josué, who migrated with his 3-year-old son, only to be separated by border patrol agents in El Paso, Texas—to data about the exponential growth of ICE and the history of immigration as a wedge issue in politics."

"While I would never recommend binging this show unless you’re incredibly emotionally resilient, its greatest strength is in its cumulative power."

"“Immigration Nation” provides a damning indictment of the labyrinthe systems that make ICE so powerful, and a wrenching examination of the human cost its policies have wrought. ... What makes “Immigration Nation” so effective beyond its sheer depth of information is how much it lets its subjects and situations speak for themselves."

"Far from a dream, Immigration Nation conveys the pain associated with that reality. If the goal is to craft policy that's both effective and humane, watching it leaves the sobering impression that what's currently in place isn't the right way."

"Immigration Nation also tells human stories, where the filmmakers sit down with migrants to hear their particular saga of suffering. Each is like a vortex, lengthening into a dimension of unfathomable personal grief."

"As damning for the executive branch as it is illuminating for civilians, Immigration Nation is easily the most important TV show of the year."
