★ 2020 News Emmy, Outstanding Continuing Coverage of a News Story in a Newsmagazine

Confidential government data and rare access inside a "tender age" shelter reveal how many migrant children were held in U.S. custody during Trump's first term, and for how long. Emmy-winning reporting from the Associated Press and FRONTLINE traces how policy changes on sponsor vetting kept kids in detention longer as their numbers grew.

Why it's free: Free on FRONTLINE's own PBS channel, the film's producing broadcaster.
