The Infiltrators (95 minutes, 2019) is a docu-thriller that tells the true story of young undocumented immigrants who get arrested by Border Patrol, and put in a shadowy for-profit detention center – on purpose.

The protagonists are members of the National Immigrant Youth Alliance, a group of radical Dreamers who are on a mission to stop deportations. And the best place to stop deportations, they believe, is in detention. However, when the activists try to pull off their heist – a kind of ‘prison break’ in reverse – things don’t go according to plan.

By weaving together documentary footage of the real infiltrators with scripted re-enactments of the events inside the detention center, The Infiltrators tells this incredible true story in a boundary-crossing new cinematic language.

Taking place during the Obama years, the award winning film (including Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and Best Documentary at the Blackstar Film Festival), The Infiltrators is an in turn chilling reminder of long-standing immigrant rights activists and the history of the nation’s exclusionary migration policies.

This screening is presented as part of the series, Infiltrators: Films on borders and resistance. Support for this program is provided by Teiger Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Special thank you to Leo Goldsmith and Paige Sarlin. Special thank you to our co-presenters at Jewish Voice for Peace Buffalo.
