MSNBC acquired Errol Morris' new documentary, "Separated," examining the family separation policy implemented by Donald Trump's administration, but NBC executives have decided to shelve it until after the election due to fears of offending the former president, according to journalist Oliver Darcy.
NBC News Studios acted as a producer for the possible Oscar contender, which is itself based on the 2020 nonfiction book “Separated: Inside an American Tragedy” by NBC correspondent Jacob Soboroff. MSNBC acquired it on Oct. 1, announcing the same day that it would air on December 7.
