The Infiltrators (2019, 95 min.) is a docu-thriller that tells the true story of young immigrants who get arrested by Border Patrol and put in 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 deportations. And the best place to stop deportations, they believe, is in detention.
