Academy-Award nominated documentary filmmaker Robert Bilheimer joins us to discuss his work, and his extended time at the border.

Bilheimer has turned his lens on what he calls "forced migration," and particularly on the children whose lives have been torn apart.

We discuss what he has seen, and what he is creating in his next film to share with the public.
