“The Three Amigos are from Latin America and come out of the best film schools in Latin America. God bless them, but that’s sort of separate from the struggle of US Latinos to find a space in the cinema here. For Latino writers and directors here in the US, the odds are against us.”

    THE INFILTRATORS

    ALEX RIVERA, CRISTINA IBARRA United States, 2019

    Winner of two prizes at Sundance, this tense genre hybrid folds heist and prison-escape tropes into its nonfiction carapace to explore a harrowing chapter in America’s ongoing maltreatment of immigrants. Merging real footage with reenactments, the film makes for bold and controversial storytelling.
