How 'Once Upon a Time's Lana Parrilla Is Using Her Platform to Raise Awareness About Family Separation

One of my favorite parts of film festivals is that the line-ups often include some smaller productions that gain a bigger platform via well-known and experienced creators eager to bring more awareness to a particular story or topic. That’s the case with the documentary Split at the Root which has Once Upon a Time star Lana Parrilla as an executive producer and prolific writer-producer Marti Noxon as a producer.

“We started this in 2018. We really didn’t think that we’d be completing it now. But, it’s also been so helpful to have people like Lana and Rosario and all these incredible people who’ve supported us because like a lot of documentaries, we’ve sort of been scraping by.

“I remember learning about the Zero Tolerance Policy, I think it was entitled that in 2018, and we really, as a country, started seeing bits of it on the news in 2019, and I was just completely horrified. I am not a supporter of the Trump administration already to begin with so seeing that this was happening in our very own country was nauseating. I am a mother to so many.
