Filmmaker Isabel Castro met Darlin in July 2018. Concerned over the Trump administration's policy of separating immigrant families at the border, Castro had gone to a detention center in Texas and volunteered to give a ride to a Honduran woman named Darlin, who was due to be released. The woman,, 26, had spent two months in detention. Her partner, Jefry, and son, Hamilthon, were still in custody. Castro ended up making a documentary about the woman, "in an attempt," she notes, "to understand a government policy that was incomprehensible to me." The film was featured by The New York Times OpDoc series. https://www.ai-ap.com/publications/article/25603/spotlight-a-honduran-family-separated-by-zero-tol.html
