2:59Now PlayingValeria Luiselli says "Lost Children Archive" was merely a working title when she first started working on the novel in 2014.
"I was thinking about children who had lost the right to childhood, and children who were not being seen or heard," she tells Democracy Now! Luiselli says she was not thinking about the Trump administration's family separation policy at the time, but says her title has unfortunately taken on new meaning.
