SUMMARY: The documentary “Crossing Borders: Immigration and Division in North Carolina,” airing Wednesday, explores the complex impact of immigration on local communities. Reporter Kristen Se highlights emotional stories, such as Yolanda Zavala’s, who became a legal resident after immigrating from Mexico but faced challenges when her son was deported. The film also addresses the broader implications of federal policies and proposed state legislation, including collaboration between state law enforcement and ICE. With diverse perspectives, the documentary aims to showcase the emotional weight and divisive nature of immigration in North Carolina. It premieres at 7:30 PM on WL and online.

Immigration is one of the most divisive and deeply personal issues facing North Carolina today. A new WRAL Documentary, Crossing Borders: Immigration and Division in North Carolina, takes viewers inside the debate from emotional family separations to high profile crimes committed by undocumented immigrants.

Crossing Borders was produced by WRAL investigative documentary reporter Cristin Severance and WRAL documentary photographer and editor Dwayne Myers after seeing immigration stories in the headlines every week since President Trump took office in January.
