As part of OZY Media’s development partnership with A+E Networks, Lifetime announces the greenlight of the original movie, Torn From Her Arms<\/em><\/strong>, as part of Lifetime’s Ripped From The Headlines legacy of story-telling with movies inspired by riveting news and true events. Originally covered by OZY’s reporting arm, Torn from Her Arms<\/em> marks OZY’s first foray into scripted programming and an expansion of their already robust television catalog.<\/p>\n

Torn from Her Arms<\/em> is the timely story of Cindy and Jimena Madrid, a mother, and daughter who fled violence in El Salvador, only to be separated at the U.S. border. Detained in different centers, Cindy and Jimena’s story gained national attention when a gut-wrenching audiotape of six-year-old Jimena crying for her mother was leaked, helping to alert the world to what was happening to undocumented immigrant families at the border. Torn From Her Arms<\/em> shines a spotlight on the harsh child separation policies in place as part of the zero-tolerance policy and the struggle to reunite families.<\/p>
