Join us for a free webinar with directors Cristina Ibarra and Alex Rivera on the making of their Sundance award-winning film The Infiltrators. Winner of the Cinema Tropical Award for Best U.S. Latinx Film, The Infiltrators tell the true story of a radical group of Dreamers who get themselves detained by Border Patrol—on purpose—to infiltrate a shadowy detention center and to help other immigrants get free.
Join us as the directors share their experience of making their innovative film, including development, funding, production, festival premiere, and on-line release. The filmmakers will take questions from the audience members.
Friday, June 19, 6pm - 7:30pm EDT

Cristina Ibarra has been making award-winning films that explore the U.S.-Mexico border for the past seventeen years. The New York Times calls her documentary Las Marthas “a striking alternative portrait of border-town life.” Her PBS documentary collaboration, The Last Conquistador, had a national broadcast on POV. In 2015 she became part of Women at Sundance.
Alex Rivera is an award-winning filmmaker who tells visually adventurous stories. His first feature film, Sleep Dealer, won the screenwriting award at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, was screened at the Museum of Modern Art, and had a commercial release around the world. In 2015 Alex was awarded support from the Surdna Foundation and the Ford Foundation for The Infiltrators.
