Divorce can be a very BIG change for the children stuck in between their parents. Not only can they be smack in the middle of fighting, but are challenged with learning to navigate the ins and outs of two households, two sets of rules, two sets of clothes, and new partners for their parents, to name just a few. The movie Split documents both the hardships experienced by the children and their incredible resilience. Join me with Director, Ellen Bruno in the discussion of her interest and motivation on this project, how she created it, what she learned from it and MORE.
