>> sure. at the beginning of the pandemic, my planning were up ended. i had plans to report stories for magazines that i write for. i was trying to figure out how i was going to continue as a print reporter as this pandemic was spreading to develop news stories to cover the pandemic on the beats that i already work on. and, so, i began making a series of calls through a video app that's installed inside a set of ice detention centers that allow people on the inside to call into people on the inside to have short conversations 15 minutes at a time using these video apps. they're really made for family members to call people on the inside so they could maintain contact. they're pretty expensive. but as a reporter, i decided it was worth it to pay per minute to get this access to figure out what was happening inside ice detention centers as the pandemic was turning the world upside down. >> and the facility, did they try to fight you when they realized what you were doing? when did they know that basically some, you know, somebody was doing and some -- some detainees were participating in a journalistic exercise? >> so lots of journalists were using these video apps to record what was happening inside the detention scepters. in fact, it allowed us as reporters to gain a level of access that's very, very difficult without that kind of video access. in fact, you know, in a way the pandemic and the sort of just move by all of us to start using video communication tools, it made it possible for me to get inside of an ice facility that i probably never would have been able to get into otherwise. >> right. >> the detention center at one point, and i wrote about this in "the new york times" magazine story that i published last year did separate my access to the video app. and some of the people inside lost access to the tablets that they use to have these conversations. i was able to sign back up and sign back in and continue having these conversations. and collecting footage that ultimately resulted in the documentary of the facility. >> but it allowed you in some ways to briefly take us into the facility which made yours stand out. let's take nelson. he doesn't know why he was held for as long as he was held and he's not sure why his release, at least as far as the film is concerned. can you fill in some of the blanks? >> ice detention and just to fill in some background here, it's civil detention. it's not prison. it is not meant as punishment, at least as a legal matter. it is a thing that exists to hold non-citizens facing the threat of deportation so they don't leave, so they show up in court. nearly everybody who is detained in ice detention could actually be released at any point at the discretion of immigration and customs enforcement. and policy shifts from administration to administration about who is detained, who is prioritized, who is held in detention, who is released and who is left to stay home. the people in my film really had no idea when they would be released. they were detained pursuant to policy at the time under the trump administration that nearly anybody who could be detained would be detained. so he had been pulled over for a driving violation and was locked up in ice detention after an arrest following the driving violation. andrea had come to los angeles from columbia by plane with a tourist visa. >> right. >> intended to enter the country. but when officials at the airport asked her if she feared returning to her country, she was detained and treated as an arriving asylum seeker. under the trump administration, they were summarily detained. she was held for nearly two years without any idea when she would be released. >> both are still here. both are still in america. they weren't sent away out of country, correct? >> that's correct. >> so they were held for months, and then let -- let -- allowed to stay, period. >> that's right. andrea is in court proceeding through her asylum case. he's waiting for a green card. he's married to a u.s. citizen. he probably was never going to be deported, actually. he was probably going to win his case. but because ice had the discretion to hold him at the time, they as a policy matter were holding anybody they could. so he stayed in detention for close to a year actually while he was fighting his case. and through this film, the facility, i really tried to bring people inside because for most of the pandemic, for the beginning of the pandemic, the early months of the pandemic, i sort of attached myself to this computer screen in order to have these conversations with people and to observe what life was like inside of an ice facility that's really built with the intention to separate people from the outside world. >> right. and that's certainly not intended for months, maybe a day or two. these are topics that the public tries to look away from at times. this is all part of our system. if we don't like it, we should do something about it, and sometimes you have to see something that's a bit uncomfortable in order to make change. seth, congratulations. i appreciate you participating in our film festival. >> thanks. they were the first to be verified by usp, an independent organization that sets strict quality and purity standards. nature made. the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand.
