Squeaky Wheel presents two films each by directors Alex Rivera and Khaled Jarrar that take on displacement, resistance, and the human toll of borders and settler-colonies.
Nadira, an elderly Palestinian, has been a refugee since the age of 12. Now she has to evacuate Damascus, too. She and her daughter Mona feared for their lives there, but the idea of a safe existence elsewhere is a distant dream. Filmmaker Khaled Jarrar receives unsettling videos and voice messages as they cross to the Greek island of Lesbos. He joins them there, on the long road to a new life.
The Infiltrators tells the true story of a radical group of undocumented youth – Dreamers – who get themselves detained in order to infiltrate a shadowy detention center and help other immigrants get free.
Mexico. The near future. Memo Cruz has always dreamed of leaving his tiny village and heading north. But when he is ultimately forced to leave, Memo finds a future so bizarre – border walls, shantytowns, hi-tech factories, remote control drones and aqua-terrorists – that it looks a lot like today.
