Oscilloscope Laboratories has announced the U.S. virtual theatrical release of The Infiltrators by Alex Rivera (Sleep Dealer) and Cristina Ibarra (Las Marthas) starting this Friday, May 1. Winner of the Cinema Tropical Award for Best U.S. Latinx Film and hailed as “exceedingly smart” (Eric Kohn, IndieWire), the docu-thriller will be available digitally through numerous theaters across the country.
Winner of both the 'NEXT Innovator' and 'Audience Award' at the Sundance Film Festival,The Infiltrators 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.
