  • Infiltrators: Films on borders and resistance

    Burning Books 420 Connecticut Street, Buffalo, United States

    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.

  • Khaled Jarrar’s Notes on Displacement

    Burning Books 420 Connecticut Street, Buffalo, United States

    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.

  • Alex Rivera and Cristina Ibarra’s The Infiltrators

    Burning Books 420 Connecticut Street, Buffalo, United States

    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.

  • Alex Rivera’s Sleep Dealer

    Burning Books 420 Connecticut Street, Buffalo, United States

    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.

  • Khaled Jarrar’s Infiltrators

    Burning Books 420 Connecticut Street, Buffalo, United States

    A visceral road movie that chronicles the daily travails of Palestinians of all backgrounds as they seek routes through, under, around, and over a bewildering matrix of barriers and border walls in the highly militarized West Bank.
