Join us for another week of Bridging Worlds: Exploring Latin American and Latinx Stories Across Borders and Cultures ([link removed]) , co-curated with Cinema Tropical ([link removed]) . This week, we present two provocative films that shed light on America's flawed and inhumane immigration system, offering valuable insights into the challenges faced by migrants and those who seek to help them.

In Águilas ([link removed]) , a short film by Kristy Guevara-Flanagan and Maite Zubiaurre, we follow the Águilas del Desierto, a group of searchers who volunteer monthly to recover missing migrants along the southern border in Arizona. Meanwhile, The Infiltrators ([link removed]) , by Cristina Ibarra and Alex Rivera, tells the true story of two young immigrants who intentionally get arrested by Border Patrol and are placed in a shadowy for-profit detention center. Their mission: to stop deportations, which they believe is best achieved from inside detention.

These award-winning documentaries are available for streaming on pov.org ([link removed]) and the PBS App ([link removed]) , providing a unique opportunity to explore the rich diversity of Latin American and Latinx stories.
