Borderlands Cinematic Arts Presents: 'The Infiltrators' with Cristina Ibarra and Alex Rivera

Join Cristina Ibarra and Alex Rivera, filmmakers and professors with The Sidney Poitier New American Film School at ASU, for a special screening of their Sundance Film Festival award-winning film. “The Infiltrators” is a real-life story — half documentary, half dramatic narrative — about a group of young undocumented activists and “Dreamers” who deliberately get detained by Border Patrol to infiltrate a for-profit detention center to help liberate detainees. Released in 2019, “The Infiltrators” has become an even more urgent and necessary call to action for communities facing the threat of deportation. Ibarra and Rivera and MacArthur “Genius Grant” Fellows are the founders of Borderlands Cinematic Arts, a space for world-class filmmakers to create new cinematic works that are grounded in the social experience of the “borderlands” and elevated in craft and form.
