Tuesday, June 23: The Infiltrators
Free, online via Zoom; [link removed] RSVP here

Guest host: Tom Zaniello, author "Working Stiffs: Union Maids, Red and RiffRaff (An Expanded Guide to Films About Labor)"

THE INFILTRATORS is a docu-thriller that tells the true story of young immigrants who are detained by Border Patrol and thrown into a shadowy for-profit detention center-on purpose. Marco and Viri are members of the National Immigrant Youth Alliance, a group of radical DREAMers who are on a mission to stop unjust deportations. And the best place to stop deportations, they believe, is in detention. However, when Marco and Viri attempt a daring reverse 'prison break,' things don't go according to plan. By weaving together documentary footage of the real infiltrators with re-enactments of the events inside the detention center, THE INFILTRATORS tells an incredible and thrilling true story in a genre-defying new cinematic language.

2020, Directed by Cristina Ibarra & Alex Rivera; Running time 90m; cast: Marco Saavedra, Viridiana Martinez, Maynor Alvarado, Chelsea Rendon, Manuel Uriza, Juan Gabriel Pareja, Vik Sahay
