Two films about divorce for kids, teens and their parents.

Each year millions of children are left to manage their parent’s divorce, on their own or with little support.

While divorce changes almost every part of a child’s life, sadly it’s rarely talked about in a helpful or healing way.

Until now…

SPLIT: The EARLY Years

SPLIT gives us the children's perspective on divorce... no adults, no experts… just kids speaking the powerful truth of what is on their minds and in their hearts as their families change. Their wisdom, candor, and humor give courage to other children and encourage parents to make better choices as they move through divorce.

SPLIT UP: The TEEN Years

SPLIT UP follows the same 12 kids, ten years later, as they reflect on childhoods marked by divorce. SPLIT UP is a practical and emotional roadmap for teens and young adults navigating divorce, and a cautionary tale for divorcing parents.
