Pragda Spanish Film Festival: The Infiltrators

Pragda Spanish Film Festival: The Infiltrators In-Person

We are excited to be able to screen a series of five films drawn from across the Spanish-speaking world, thanks to funding from Pragda's Spanish Film Club and the University Library's Lozano endowmentPRAGDA’S Spanish FILM CLUB introduces students to the linguistic, cultural, and cinematic diversity of Spain and Latin America.  The series begins on September 16, 2025 and continues through November 18, 2025 in the Rue Auditorium. All screenings are FREE and open to the Rider community and others.

Film Synopsis:

"Cristina Ibarra and Alex Rivera’s powerfully inventive docu-thriller — a prison escape drama in reverse — tells the incredible true story of Marco and Viri, two members of the Dreamer-led National Immigrant Youth Alliance who embark on a mission to stop deportations from within a for-profit immigration detention center. Intentionally getting themselves detained, the two young activists find themselves living among hundreds of multinational immigrants — all imprisoned without trial. As they discover a nightmarishly complex institution, they work undercover to impede some of the imminent deportations. Interlacing documentary footage of the real “infiltrators” with scripted re-enactments, The Infiltrators is both a gripping account of a high-stakes mission and an urgent, vital portrait of a group of inspirational young people fighting for change."
