Without warning, Claudio Rojas is detained by ICE officials outside his Florida home. He is transferred to the Broward Transitional Center, a detention facility used as a holding space for imminent deportations. Terrified of never seeing him again, Claudio’s family contacts the National Immigrant Youth Alliance (NIYA), a group of activist Dreamers known for stopping deportations. Believing that no one is free as long as one is in detention, NIYA enlists Marco Saavedra to self-deport with the hopes of gaining access to the detention center and impeding Claudio’s expulsion. Once inside, Marco discovers a complex for-profit institution housing hundreds of multinational immigrants, all imprisoned without trial.

By weaving together documentary footage with scripted re-enactments of the events inside the detention center, The Infiltators tells this incredible true story in a boundary-crossing new cinematic language. CineFestival alums Alex Rivera and Cristina Ibarra return with the winner of the Sundance Film Festival NEXT Innovator Award. Featuring Chelsea Rendon, star of Vida and McFarland, USA.
